But in the long run, are the people (in any great numbers) getting the message?
Okay so he may not have stumbled over himself as much as usual last week. But he's still not a great comunicator, and that makes a world of difference in trying to sway public opinion. It seems to me that last weeks speeches were okay, but they were no public opinion shifting remarks or great new plans that were so grand that they got natioanl media attention or public attnetion. None to turn the tide of public opinion in any of his speaking and definitely no grand differences in his speaking than normal.
All this is my opinion, but I do keep up with what he is saying and doing, and I compare it to the load megaphones that the press has, and who gets believed by the public? The Pres. or the MSM? And I know the the President can sway public opinion to the truth if he just fought back, and I mean fighting back harder than a few speeches and conferences in one week. Get out an around the country like he's campaigning and give motivational speeches about the WOT on a megaphone to crowds in cities nationwide, and it will get covered by the media.... and yes I am an armchair presidential advisor.... that's a joke, so nobody cut me down for typing that....
and I'm going to lunch, so you "guys speak amongst yourselves".... lol /sarc. kinda
If you can't tell I like to kid around a lot, I have a sense of humor but I don't like to be called ignorant (even if I am) but can take it with a grain of salt. I'm just typing this, 'cause I know there will be responses to my idiotic rant that is emotionless maybe... but I value you all's opinion, and don't want you all to think I ran away. I will come back after lunch and see who all proves me wrong, I know it will happen...
until later.... have a great Bush Kinda day ") lol
After 9/11, no one will be able to convince me that President Bush has ANY problems with real communication. The difference is that some of us (you?) require slickness in your definition of communication skills. I don't.
The MSM will never show the President as he really is. They had to after 9/11, but the best thing they can do to make people hate him (which is their only goal) is to hide him, and show only soundbites that back up their template.
Ask the people in Cleveland or Wheeling if he communicated well. Ask them if they got the message.
Get out an around the country like he's campaigning and give motivational speeches about the WOT on a megaphone to crowds in cities nationwide, and it will get covered by the media....
This is exactly what he is doing. He only gets covered locally. The MSM continues their virtual ignore policy.
