Talk about "getting to the point."


Talk about getting " down , to the heart of the matter."

it doesn't have so much to do with the concept that was presented, but rather the examples used.
I was a bit put off by the use of FDR and Kennedy as examples as well as the list of issues that all sounded like part of the typical democratic platform. As far as I could see the only example that was pulled from the right was a brief picture of Nixon, who has no current defenders on the right, so he is safe to attack or use for "balance".
I could be a bit too sensitive on some of these things, but I would guess that whoever generated it, however well intentioned, has a bit of a bias.
