Here is what's wrong with the content: What he should have done instead was disarm his opponents. If he had built initial policy proposals from the middle, he could have wooed the moderate flank of the Republican party, marginalized the conservatives, and alleviated the concerns of those gettable voters in the South and the Midwest. This is precisely what Bill Clinton did between 1995 and 2000, and it is what the President's promises of "post-partisanship" suggested. It doesn't say anything except some vague general notion about centrist governance. No proposal for how healthcare and spending should have been handled, no proposals for other key topics pending like energy, just do "something" different and better. That makes it fluff, just a lot of self-important pontificating. Obama was "wrong" but this guy has no real clue how he could have done anything right except to do it better. Are you familiar with the term "circular logic"?
