No, I'm not part of that group, but you seem determined to believe otherwise.

Then why are you participating in it?

It is useful, often, to try to anticipate what the other guys are going to say, and to have a response ready. This is all I am advising the President to do. It is never useful, however, to bury your head in the sand.

Uh, huh. So you're saying what is most important right now is that he has superb verbal responses to attacks from liberals wanting to play the blame game? I disagree. The politicians who believe that is what is important are the ones who let dropped the ball. The President is acting. The democrats in N.O. are the ones hiding their heads in the sand right now and before it even hit. This is about doing, not saying. Too bad your maturity level is such that you can't see what is really important here.

You really do have a problem with selective comprehension. I said it is not the President's only, main or even most important responsibility (responding to libs, that is). But it IS the most visible, because cameras are always on him.

You want an example? Look at the response to his press conference an hour ago, even on this site. There are folks automatically jumping on the "he looked terrible, he's a disaster" bandwagon. All the President said (paraphrasing here) was that he is looking forward to getting down there, rolling his sleeves up, and getting to work. Nothing at all wrong with that! But it was national TV, and very, very visible.

This doesn't mean the President isn't DOing, or that he won't do more. So much of what he will do will not be immediately visible, if it ever is; things like arranging funding, issuing orders, etc., that noone sees but that are responsible for accomplishing so much. But the cameras are on him always, and he always has detractors, and he should be able to anticipate questions, and be able to respond.

I honestly don't know where you are finding fault here.
