12. I'm talking about being specific. How many Americans
Edited on Fri Sep-02-11 01:14 AM by sabrina 1
are aware of that new agency, set up to protect THEIR interests? And it doesn't just have to be the President. All Democrats should be talking to their constituents educating them about this issue.

If the President goes on popular talk shows, like Oprah, eg, and talks about the agency, and ask the people if they can understand why the Republicans want to destroy it, I know this is something the American people would support and it would make them very angry at Republicans.

He has a lot of power regarding talk shows most of which would give anything to do an interview with him, as often as he likes. Biden can also do it.

When Bush wanted to sell the war, he had his minions on every talk show they could get to.

And he has to stop refusing to mention the word 'Republican' when he talks about obstruction.

I saw him on Wolf Blitzer a few weeks ago and he was talking about the lack of cooperation in Congress. But not once did he say 'Republicans'. He talked about 'some folks in Congress don't want to do this or that'. Finally, Blitzer said to him 'you are saying 'some folks', but don't you mean Republicans'?

I thought YES, now let them have it!! Wolf GAVE him the opportunity. Instead, he changed the subject starting with 'look, Wolf, we have to get things done for the American people' etc. etc. Frankly, I wanted to throw something. I don't understand it, this reluctance to call them by name. Even Pelosi has asked him not to conflate Dems with Repubs by using that language 'some folks in Congress'. She asked him to be clear about who those 'folks' are.
