I don't think that's realistic, Karen. The President has a limited ability to get his message to people, and people have a limited understanding of the issues. The message has to be narrow, simple, and capable of expression in 30 seconds. That's American politics for ya. Especially when journalists seem to be, as a rule, dumb as rocks and you can't trust them to pass on complex ideas faithfully.

The real meat and discussion gets outted in the "writing for political nerds" venues. The think tanks, policy mags and columnists roll out this stuff.
