2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumOur President certainly is very well spoken....
And has a very good grasp of whats going on in the Middle East.
But he just plain lousy at pin pointing the blame of why this is all happening..
The Invasion of Iraq by George W Bush fueled by lies and treachery of his neocon friends...But
He voted against the war... So it cant be that..
Someone tell me why the hell he isnt on the Talk Shows Today reiterating all which I have mentioned, so that our electorate understands exactly why all the chaos is occurring
We have an vital election coming up and some well thought out attacks on the Republicans and their neocon allies might provide for a little more impetus to get some voters out..
People are frightened of the Middle East Terror events (mostly unnecessarily) so I think this is an excellent way to get some momentum going..
Come on President Obama!!!

We can't expect the sitting President to go on all the talk shows
Do wish someone with knowledge, in the private sector would speak up!!, C. Powell?. Probably even the retired General is still to afraid of todays republicans, to ever 'do the right thing'.

Franklin Roosevelt was an excellent example of how it is done..

(22,651 posts)He doesn't have to play defensive over his record. It his record and nothing he says will change any voters mind.
Ds have to turn out and vote, & there will not be any republicans elected.

(20,605 posts)cabinet members to make the rounds and explain things like that. He has done this occasionally but not as much as I wish he would.
I don't think he should do it himself though.
