“I don't usually write emails like this…”
-- Senior White House Adviser Dan Pfeiffer in a mass email touting a series of economic speeches Obama will give in the weeks to come.
President Obama’s poor job approval ratings have become as much a part of late July as sweet corn and a fire sale on the Cubs’ roster. But this time, Team Obama has a plan to prevent the second-half slump that played out in every year of his presidency.
Maybe. But with his Real Clear Politics Average approval rating down to 45.8 percent today, massive battles ahead and no ready solutions to what’s weighing him down, it would take something pretty remarkable to let the president defy his own gravity.
Team Obama’s answer, however, is to have the president talk more. Power Play has discussed before the over-reliance of the president and his team on presidential oratory when it comes to corralling a restive electorate.
Especially when Americans have heard him talk since 2007, there’s just not much he can say at this point that will get people’s attention.

David Brooks called it “a symphony of indignation, professionalism, executive responsibility, personal feeling.”
David, I believe the term you were searching for was
“Cacophony”.
A harsh discordant mixture of sounds.
WHITE HOUSE AIDE: But, but, Mr. President, the economy isn't really recovering, if it wasn't for the compliant press corps carrying your water you would be considered the most "epic failure" a president has ever been in ALL American history, ever. odumbo: No, no, really, I will just give another speech. It will be alright. My speeches touch people.
Obama’s legacy:
- record number of people out of work
- record number of people on government assistance
- highest number of people in poverty since the Great Depression
- record number of US citizens renouncing their US citizenship

There. Fixed it.
Everything sucks. So the worst _resident of all times will give a speech about it.
