We all love a great story...if he loses it is definitely because he didn’t dumb it down enough for us...lol.

No I think it was being Born. well we could hollow him out and make a wet suit

....the mistake of my first term - couple of years - was thinking that this job was just about getting the policy right. And that's important. But the nature of this office is also to tell a story to the American people that gives them a sense of unity and purpose and optimism, especially during tough times....

There is a vast difference between reciting fictional stories from a teleprompter and leadership. He is bad at the former, and is a dismal failure at the latter.

[mortal19440]

He has told a lot of stories, sad thing is that most of them are just stories.(Lies)

[RetiredTexasVet]

Stories? He’s already telling fairy tales, why change anything?

[FreeAtlanta]

Liars always default to lying. It is all he really knows.

[philman_36]

I'll say it again...

...where's the story that tells us where he's going?' And I think that was a legitimate criticism.
We all know where the story is going when it starts out "Once upon a time..."

“—was thinking that this job was just about getting the policy right. And that’s important.”

Translation: Once we try it the ‘right way’ then communism will be a success.

“But the nature of this office is also to tell a story to the American people that gives them a sense of unity and purpose and optimism, especially during tough times.”

Shut up and eat your peas Mr. President. You can’t name a single instance where you even tried to give us a sense of unity, purpose, or optimism. Your entire administration has been a nightmare.

FUBO

So did he make up another composite for the past 3 years?

[parisa]

Now obama thinks he’s Ewan McGregor in Moulin Rouge. He probably thinks moockel is Nicole Kidmann!

[HiTech RedNeck]

Mitt scores one! Who’da thunk that it wasn’t about telling stories.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Republicans Patriotic Conservatives probably have a quick answer involving the words "God Damn scurrilous communist"

I drews u a chart, Bobo:

[dead]

"The Story" concept is a big buzz idea in corporate communications these days.

Cheeseball consultants make a mint with their Powerpoint presentations selling businesses on the idea that their woes are due to their lack of a coherent "story."

It's all about reducing everything to a single character, emotional, simple to understand, graphics heavy tale of somebody with a problem and how your entity helped them solve it.

[citizencon]

So of all his big mistakes this one was the biggest?
Well, he practically admitted that his first term was a failure. Romney’s campaign should take that “slip” and run with it.

In Obama’s own words: “My biggest mistake was...(fill in the blank)”.
That would a great campaign ad.

Obama: My Biggest Mistake Was Failure to 'Tell a Story'

Geez, Barry. You've been doing nothing but telling stories your whole life.

[pistolpackinpapa]

That all depends on how you define “story”.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

All he’s done so far is tell stories and destroy our lives.
