>>Few presidents have put more faith than Mr. Obama in the power of words to persuade audiences to accept a complex idea
Huh? When has he ever convinced anyone of anything? He talks to his base, who worship him. He promises free stuff and they take the bait. When he talks to the “other side”, he lectures and declares that he will “do it without them” and then issues EOs or has his alphabet agencies change regulatory priorities.
He couldn’t upsell McDonalds french fries to a starving person much less sell a complex idea to people who don’t already want it.
“Listen hes a nice person, hes very articulate this is whats been used against him, but he couldnt sell watermelons if it, you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic.’
