Why can't Obama articulate policies?

Comments 0 | Recommend 0

I find it quite interesting that President Obama had over 120 print and televised interviews while President Bush had 40 at the same point in his presidency.

Why, with all these interviews and question and answer opportunities, has the president failed to satisfactorily articulate or communicate his intentions, ideas, points at issue or respond to critical questioning on health care reform and other equally important issues to the American people?

His mouth has been open and words come out but still there is desperate confusion and as he calls it, "misinformation," on this and other issues. Whose fault is that?

And before some idiot says I oppose the president because I am racist, shut it - I'm a white man married to a black woman and it won't fly. I disagree with the president and the socialist Democrat-controlled Congress he has, his Shadow Cabinet of "czars", lack of promised "transparency" and the "transformation" they intend based upon the political philosophy of "social justice" for our nation and democratic republic, not his skin or heritage.

He is the president of the United States of America and I respect him because of the high office which he holds. I am insulted by the socialist Democrat Party, it's leadership and yes the White House, for allowing operatives within the White House, members of Congress and even Speaker of the House Pelosi to imply or outright state that the reason that I oppose the president and them is because my president is African-American.  

What a cowardly way to deflect criticism of their twisted and socialist agenda. This agenda has been patched together by the Apollo Alliance, Acorn, SEIU, former members of STORM, the Weather Underground, known communists, known socialists as well as other radicals and they intend to strap it upon the backs of the citizens of this great nation.  

If they should succeed, the rights and freedoms we now enjoy will be so eroded that to disagree or rise up against them will surely result in consequences much more severe and personally costly than being called "a racist."  We will be answerable to the state authority as opposed to the framework of the Constitution, which makes the government answerable to "We The People" from which the government derives its authority.
