Obamas problem is that we understand perfectly.

So what!

We ALL know that it's the eight years of Dubya' that created the inability of BHO to be a leader.

I think he’s trying to say he didn’t feed us as much bull$hit after the campaign as he did during the campaign.

"He gave only 158 interviews and 411 speeches in his first year (according to CBS News' Mark Knoller). That's more than any previous president — and maybe more than all of them put together. "

All that and "we" still don't "get it"...so much for his reputation as a "great communicator"....huh?

Or as John Stewart said, “You fought your fight! You fought it furiously and forthrightly but isn’t a fight if ill foughten folly?”

I’m waiting for zero to give the exact same speeches only slower and louder.

45% of the American Voters understood every aspect of Obama before the 2008 election.

As each day goes by more and more people understand Obama is a Marxist and anti-American. In two years 65% of the American public will have nothing to do with Obama.

Mark Steyn rocks! It’s BHO and his admin that doesn’t get it and I’m sick and tired of hearing him explain things!

But you schlubs aren't that smart. You didn't get it. And Barack Obama is determined to see that you do.

This from a guy who is just now figuring out that it's really hard to make the Palestinians like the Israelis.

Anyone who was a living eye witness to the last third, or even the last quarter of the twentieth century who still believes that socialism can be made to work is one of the sloooow kids.

Just like the dumbass quota-hire who sits in the white house today

"I think the assumption was if I just focus on policy, if I just focus on this provision or that law or if we're making a good rational decision here, then people will get it."

I honestly can not think of a less-presidential statement he could make. He is admitting he doesn't have a clue about Presidential leadership and he's totally winging it. Of course, we all knew that from the beginning based on his tissue-paper thin commie resume.

Presumably, the president isn't stupid enough actually to believe what he said. But it's dispiriting to discover he's stupid enough to think we're stupid enough to believe it.

Yep says it all

Clinton was the same way

He’s right the dems just don’t get it at all. It’s like they think we are too stupid and that if they wait a few weeks we’ll forget all about it and they can go back to it. They think if they lie more about what the bill will do that they can get us to fall for it.Keep it up the more you push the more we push back in November!

Good one even by Steyn's elevated standards.

Got it. People are so angry and frustrated at George W. Bush that they're voting for Republicans. In Massachusetts... Presumably, the president isn't stupid enough actually to believe what he said. But it's dispiriting to discover he's stupid enough to think we're stupid enough to believe it.

A good number of political academics really do believe that the crude masses are that stupid, and unfortunately for him, those are the people 0bama has surrounded himself with. It's a shame - the real historical evidence to the contrary is dismissed or worked into one postmodern narrative or another, and so it's a recurring surprise when the lumpenproletariat decline to cooperate and hand these idiots their heads. In the case of 18th century France, literally.

He ran as something he's not and never has been: A post-partisan centrist transformative healer. That'd be a difficult trick to pull off even for somebody with any prior executive experience, someone who'd run something, like a state, or even a town, or even a commercial fishing operation, like that poor chillbilly boob Sarah Palin.

That's going to leave a mark because it's true. And, in fact, it is 0bama's lack of executive experience that is his greatest hazard. This is a moment begging for it - his opposition has found a winning formula and fundamental changes in the composition of his staff and the nature of his objectives are necessary. That isn't a job for an amateur. And 0bama is an amateur.

What we have here, I think, is a watershed in an individual's political outlook, the moment at which the certitudes of ideology fail in the face of a stubborn real world. Nearly every intelligent political observer faces it, but few of us do so as President of the United States. It is, if 0bama's own impudent locution may be used, a "learning moment." I wish him luck with it.

But there may still be some show out there that didn't get its exclusive Obama interview

I don't think he's been on Glenn Beck's show yet.
