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.''

You hit the nail on the head. Before the Internet The Big Zero an his den of thieves could have slide this obamanation right through.
Now ALL of us can read the actual nonsense (not the sanitized information from the state-run media) The Great One is trying to ram down our throats.
He is humbled when the American people are too stupid to understand him.
I may be going out on a limb here but I don't see evidence he understands what humble means.
YOU MEAN LIKE THE $4B IN YOUR PORKULUS PACKAGE? Even the lowly Bruck knew about that.
LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE!
Obama is U.S. forces' LBJ and McNamara.
Ok. Criticism of two whites and one black (who's half white, can we still say it that way?) so that's less than 33 1/3 racist. It used to be just expressing opinion but . . . .
My bigotometer could not verify the last Discourse Czar's ruling on safe free speech (SFS) about bi-racial groups. So it gave me the "it's your ass" option.
Somebody else read Dr. Cloud’s “INTEGRITY”.............. :)
said Obama while thinking, "Making America better is why I like visiting countries and apologizing for America's myriad sins and illegal, abominable acts against the world's peoples and environment . . . ."
Clearly racist. But no one knows who I am. Wot? D'oh!
Apparently these communists need an even louder echo.
We can provide that.
Oh, you’re breaking through Hussein....you’re just not what America wants.
Why?
You lie.
That's the way, Barry.
Good salesmanship!
You arrogant, condescending POS.
He is hell bent on changing our minds, but he is not open to having the American people change his mind.
LOL.....you are dead on.......he keeps insulting our intelligence implying that we just don’t understand it. It is theOne and only O who doesn’t understand that we just don’t want what he is selling, despite the fact he won.
YO BARKY!!! We DO UNDERSTAND!! AND WE DON’T WANT IT.. and treating us like Stupid idiots shows us the kind of person you are..
YES.. THE JOB IS ABOVE YOUR PAY GRADE!!!
"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 to think, we still have another three years and five months of the Kenyan Clown's condescension to look forward to.
The Democrats are tone deaf. Losers!
Absolutely correct.
Kinda like Castro not breaking through to the Cuban exile community in south Florida.
soooooo tired of listening to him talk down to us.
It remeinds me of that Jesse Jackson comment last year - Jesse was mad that O talks down to black people.
Now I’m thinking Jesse was right - but only partly right.
The things is - O talks down to EVERYONE!
makes me wonder if MO let’s him talk down to her? somehow I doubt it.
It’s seems to be similar to the Bill/Hillary setup doesn’t it?
bite your tongue.......MO had better not come to NY to run for senator.
LOL!
Can you imagine?
I almost get the warm fuzzies when I think of Hillary these days :)
