“The opponents of my health care plan hate puppies....Who hates puppies?”
...and people still think the health care plan sucks. Here’s a thought: Maybe it’s not the marketing that’s flawed. Maybe it’s the plan itself.

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.''

Obama HAS broken through.
The american people have measured him and found him to be ANYTHING BUT on the level.
This is the liberal playbook redux.
You got it right there. Communists will never “break through” to Americans when they are up front about what they are doing like Obama had to do with his take over of the medical and industry. Eugentics is not real popular either.
If we want him on TV, and he wants to be 'watched', then maybe he should sign up for SURVIVORS. Let us watch him survive in the wilds of some castaway island. If he survives, then maybe we can believe he knows something about health care.

He wonders why people don’t trust him after he spends over $1m to avoid disclosing his birth certificate and attacking anyone that demands the Constitutional requirements be met
same goes for any congress critter.... democrat OR republican
America does not like presidents who act as though their allegiance is to a foreign government: Russia, specifically.
Most of the people he surrounds himself with, do. Those he grew up around, did.
They would no longer be 'beholdin' to the government. Can't have that.
Ping. He broke through all right. Like an ice skater breaking through pond ice. It’s cold in the water.
The authors noticed that truly brilliant people tend to work and to associate with other truly intelligent individuals. Being "about average" in their world was well above average in the general population.
By contract, those of below average intelligence tend to work and to associate with others who are well below average in intellectual abilities. Being above average in that world is still being below average in the general populace.
Compare the people 0bama has brought with him to Washington versus the people in say the Reagan administration. I think you will see that Reagan surrounded himself (for the most part) with people of high intellectual caliber whereas 0bama has not done so.
“Our Dear Leader needs another “crisis” so he can force us to accept his generous proposal to manage our lives for us.”
You have stated what I have been fearing for many months. That The Anointed One will have the State Department create a custom crisis for him abroad, or worse, here in the U.S., so that he can grandstand with his arms outstretched towards the “poor and downtrodden who are homeless and without medical care” and take over even more of our rights.
except for his street agitator brothers threatening folks on election day and his comrades in ACORN -- ACORN is not the biggest issue facing the country. It's not something I'm paying a lot of attention to."
Hey! Obama is fifty-percent white -- so my opinion (remember when we could express opinions?) is only fifty-percent racist. I tested it on my bigotometer.
Don't give him any ideas! (sarcasm)
“Did I hit all the talking points?”
You left out “uh”
.. uh, like 97 percent of blacks, I believe. Only a few Oreo cookie crumbs did not deliver.
My bigotometer said it was risky to say that but not, at this time, illegal.
America doesn’t want to be “fundamentally” changed.
Instead of leaning on God and taking the time to worship Him, he leans on his oratorical skills and worships the TV camera.
1) There is no health card crisis;
2) If there were, the solution would not be more governmentl
3) This administration has squandered its credibility by pushing a clearly socialist agenda in spite of overwhelming hostility from the people it's supposed to serve;
4) This is a new America, with a conservative populace awake and active. John McCain may be a pushover, but he does not represent conservatives as a whole.
