The pundits proclaimed this as the make or break speech for President Obama and his health care plan. Of course, the media issues the same dire warning in July and August. The networks know a sense of urgency or impending doom means more viewers!!
While the jury is still out regarding this latest effort, the White House must grapplw over its inability to communicate a precise, easily digestible message to voters. Of course, this problem exists because they are still not certain as to what this bill Will ultimately look like and what it will accomplish. Current efforts are truly all over the place even though the public option still creates the most buzz.
The President tells us what we want to hear and we are to just accept it without question. He gets angry and insulted when the people challange his plan or finds weaknesses in it. I don't know why we should be told to just "get on board" with HIS plan without knowing ALL the facts, not just what we're told. Americans don't trust government for a reason. I wonder sometimes if Obama would make a better salesman than President but he is our President for now and we should pray for him and our country.
