Here's a little gem about the White House retooling its communications effort--seemingly in response to the President's political fortunes and lack of any real legislative impact in his first full year in office. Remember everyone--it isn't the POLICIES or the POLITICS--it is that the President's MESSAGE isn't getting out! It's that his MESSAGE is being drowned out by those birthers, truthers, Tea Partiers and the talk radio crowd!
What evidence is there of this? Well--the fact that the legislative agenda hasn't passed, of course. After all, it is self-evident that cap and trade, health care and more stimulus (aka "jobs" bills) are the answer to what ails us--and since the votes haven't been there (for these necessary and oh-so-reasonable programs) and since these policies are dying in the polls (remember--these are the RIGHT policies PEOPLE!), it must be a lack of communication or poor communication. Because if the American people ONLY UNDERSTOOD these policies better, they'd OF COURSE support them. More cowbell.
What do Egypt and this Administration have in common?

The Off-Center President Obama says he'd settle for a single term—and seems to mean it.

Huh, imagine that. I guess "inheriting" President of the United States is a tad more stressful than being a community organizer. Of course, it's all Bush's fault that it's this hard.
ReplyDeleteBut, I do agree that the Presidency, indeed any job of command, should be treated as if it will be your last job. Letting future positions affect your decision-making can be detrimental to the good of the organization you are leading. That said, when you are an elected President, you had better listen when the bulk of your electorate is screaming at you to stop the insanity.
CW,
ReplyDeleteYou forgot to mention the deniers. Perhaps you and your faithful following are spending too much time here and with the likes of Glenn Beck and need to open the aperture a bit.
