NYTimes:
Why would President Obama go on five television shows back-to-back this coming Sunday morning?
That fact in itself has made news. For the first time ever, a president is appearing on five talk shows on a single Sunday, in quick succession — on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and Univision.
Yes why WOULD Obama go on five Sunday morning talk shows? The Times really never answers that question. I guess they are just as baffled as I am, because so far that magical oration of his hasn't been at all effective at saving his socialized medicine plan.
The healthcare plan is failing on it's merits. This is clearly evidenced by the increasing desperation of Democratic tactics to silence the dissent. So it's time. Time to roll out the only thing that Obama ever had going for him. Time to roll out the big weapon that has been right in the face of the American public non-stop since January 20, 2009. Time to roll out the ONLY qualification that recommends Barack Obama for leadership of anything: the power of his voice, his words and his rhetoric to enthrall the masses.
So has he changed tacks? No.
Has he listened to the issues raised by protestors at the town halls? No, he has dismissed them, vilified them, and called them liars, while stocking his own town halls with only the faithful.
Has he looked for compromise by incorporaating conservative ideas, specifically tort reform? No, he has shut them out.
Do Obama and the geniuses in the White House really believe that after a multitude of staged presidential town halls and prime time appearances and press conferences, numerous interviews and scolding lectures from a soapbox from which he commands the attention of the entire world, after all Obama, all the time, that the answer to their dilemma of sliding support for Obama's healthcare plan is...MORE Obama?
What is the definition of insanity again?
