"what a lousy job of getting the word out though"

Obama has also been more successful than any other president since Lyndon Johnson in getting legislation passed in his first year. But, all we hear about are the failures.

They really do need a much more effective communication team.

No kidding. That's a shame, because I really thought Obama would be the second coming of the Great Communicator (Reagan), when it came to rapport with the people.

Anyway, his first year didn't get the word out effectively, but I've read articles that talk about how Obama is tightening up in this regard to re-establish that connection from his campaign days.
