President Barack Obama, acknowledging trouble in "breaking through'' to the American public with his proposal for a health-care overhaul, made an unprecedented public push today with a series of nationally broadcast television interviews.
After months of pressing Congress for an overhaul of the nation's health insurance, and making his case to a national audience in a televised address to a joint session of Congress, Obama today took his case to a network-sweeping round of Sunday talk show appearances.
In one interview aired this morning, ABC News' George Stephanopoulos asked the president if he had confronted any situation yet in which he said to himself, ''Wow, I'm going to have to step up my game.''
"There have been times where I have said, 'I've got to step up my game in terms of talking to the American people about issues like health care,''' Obama said. "During this whole health care debate... there have been times where I've... not so much lost control, but where I've said to myself, 'Somehow I'm not breaking through...'
"This has been a sufficiently tough, complicated issue with so many moving parts that, you know, no matter how much I've... tried to keep it digestible, you know, it's very hard for people to get their... whole arms round it,'' Obama told Stephanopoulos. "And that's been a case where I have been humbled and I just keep on trying harder, because I -- I really think it's the right thing to do for the country.''

American doesn’t like liars either.
Oh yes, he’s certainly been ‘humbled’ with his assessment that the American people are too stupid to ‘get their arms around’ his superior understanding on the subject.
Uh, because you are a lying Leninist scumb*g?
Mr President: You have gotten through and we do not TRUST you hence what you say does not matter. You cannot be trusted period.
Yeah...he’s “breaking through” all right....Many Americans are FINALLY starting to see that he wants to BREAK this country by making it a commie one.
OBama...Your FIRST job is to keep us safe...and you’re getting farther and farther away from doing that.
Was Stephanopoulos given the question so barry could read from his teleprompter
You broke through Obozo, people don’t like communist Obozocare.
Somehow, socialism isn’t breaking through. Our Dear Leader needs another “crisis” so he can force us to accept his generous proposal to manage our lives for us.
Zero needs to say on the tube 24/7 to get his health care message out.
Barry shouldn’t sell himself short. I think he’s “breaking through”, just fine. Every time he talks, it’s breaking through that everything that comes out of him pie-hole is deceit, trickery, obfuscation and just plain lies. Keep talking Barry, you’re the one man who can save the Republican party.
Someone needs to tell BO: “Everything is fine with the marketing; the dogs just don’t like the dog food.”
The foolish idiot doesn't grasp the fact that his problems are largely due to his success in "breaking through" to the American public, and not because of any 'trouble' in doing so...
I saw two little spots in his right ear that "glittered" when the light hit it right.
I can just picture what he’d look like the following morning: like Jerry Lewis on day two of the telethon. Like a raucous embarrassing all-nighter in Vega.
“it’s very hard for people to get their... whole arms round it,”
There he goes again.
This sums up his entire problem - he cannot stop himself from insulting the intelligence of Americans and insinuating they simply cannot appreciate his superiority.
Right the more he is exposed the less we like it.
Keep Talkin 0. Keep talkin’.
