Glad you put a lot of stock in Dana Milbanks assessment of this.
I can't say I do.
I like CATO but take their recommendations with a pinch of salt. Some of their stuff is just not real world.

Yah, but still, it is consistent. This administration just lets the charges pile up. Take Iraq, for example. The President left the field to the democrats all of last year and he paid for it. Finally, he started making his case again and made up some ground, but not nearly all that he had lost. What is he doing now? Why, he is back to ceding the ground to the democrats on Iraq. Same with the ports (I disagree with his stance, but would LOVE to hear his rational for it), same with border security/immigration, same with the economy, SAME WITH KARTRINA,etc. etc.
The President has either given up and his on cruise mode or needs to wholesale FIRE his communications team. The administration seems to just presume that the voters will just "get it" by magic. The voters will just look at the other side's arguments and reject them because, well, because. Lazy? Out of touch? Whatever the reasoning, with the hostile MSM and the unhinged dems stooping to levels never before seen, the President has to be on the attack defending his policies everyday. In addition, he should be reaching out to his base and truly understanding their concerns on key issues, i.e. immigration.
This President is utterly failing to do these things and is paying for it. I suppose it will hit him when he is being impeached by the democrat congress. I can hear it now, "Uhh, geee, Carl, maybe we misunderestimated the conquences?"
