Obama's Bad Connection In an appearance with ABC's George Stephanopoulos last week, there was little danger of the President being too hard on himself. (Perhaps he just didn't want to jeopardize that "good, solid B+" Obama gave himself last month.) Obama said it was his hard work creating public policy that caused him to lose a direct connection to Americans. “If there’s one thing that I regret this year it’s that we were so busy just getting stuff done and dealing with the immediate crises that were in front of us that I think we lost some of that sense of speaking directly to the American people about what their core values are..."Excuse me? We know what our core values are. It is presumptuous for a politician to presume that he must lecture us about them. I'm surprised Stephanopoulos was able to keep a straight face. Blogger Denny Hartford asks, Obama needs to talk to us even more? Talk about revisionism. For this statement comes from a fellow who was constantly on our television screens, in the headlines, and on the magazine covers. Indeed, only 21 days in the whole doggone year did he not have a public appearance or splashy press event!... How about 411 speeches, released remarks and carefully crafted public comments? 52 of them specifically dealing with his health care schemes. He gave 42 news conferences including 4 which took over prime time TV. He did 158 interviews for a fawning press, 90 of which aired on television. He presided over 23 "town hall" gatherings where he pontificated on his issues. He traveled to 21 nations in his first year and to 58 U.S. cities (always accompanied by a huge throng of adoring reporters who let the American people know his every word and gesture). He had 13 bill-signing ceremonies plus plenty of media coverage on the other 111 bills he signed into law. Frankly, I hope the President will talk more if he'll just agree to legislate less. stossel.blogs.foxbusiness.com
