White House to kick communications into overdrive to spread message in 2010 By Eric Zimmermann - 02/15/10 09:49 AM ET
The White House is gearing up its communications team to be sharper more aggressive in 2010, the Washington Post reports.
The new strategy is already evident: Biden's dual appearances on Sunday morning shows this weekend, as well as Obama's proposal for a televised healthcare summit later this month, are both part of a White House effort to gain control of the media narrative.
According to the Post, the new effort will have four planks.
First, "return to the disciplined messaging that was a hallmark of the 2008 campaign, in which unhelpful themes were filtered out in favor of topics that advanced the candidate's goals."
Second, "quicker, more aggressive response to GOP attacks on the president and his policies."
Third is advance work: "The image of Obama standing in the Diplomatic Room surrounded by men in dark suits will be replaced, as often as possible, by scenes of a more relaxed president in crowds."
Fourth, the White House will seeks to once again seize the theme of "change."
In general, the White House thinks it has let Congress control the message too often.
In other words show him never working - which would at least be honest.
WE DON'T LIKE YOUR ACTIONS, IDIOT! And we don't believe anything you say!
EXACTLY!
How about JumboTrons on every corner blasting the "message"? That sounds familiar to me, think I read it in a book once.

A dem congress at that. How much more pathetic
can this administration go. Yes, I know the
answer just like you.
Interesting that these commies don’t consider substance
as important as the message. Ie: they just aren’t
yelling loud enough etx.
Too late.
See Humpty Dumpty.
This is communication in the sense that Joseph Goebbles was a communicator.
Maybe the Secret Service requested that Biden be “out there” more as a reminder of what and who is one heart beat away from the Presidency...
Maybe if they spoke more slowly and loudly...like you do when you’re speaking to a ferriner...
