EVEN FDR HAD TO SELL HIS CHOICES
Can someone who is profoundly interested in people and really solving problems, become a man who is proficient at the somewhat boring and tedious job of 'selling' or 'marketing' his policy choices and enlisting 'force multipliers' to help him along in that?
President Obama was with John Stewart last night. His answer on healthcare was fine, but not of this variety, the kind the grips to the political landscape, like a barnacle, and almost propagates itself:
"An Iraq that can govern itself, defend itself, and isn't a threat to its neighbors."
Do I have to actually write out a sample healthcare message for the communications director?
Here, this is what you do, someone, please, go into the Oval Office and say, "Mr. President, in 20 words or less, with healthcare legislation, what did you accomplish and for whom and with what fiscal impact?" Otherwise, you are never going to live down the pejorative label, "Obamacare", see?
