I am liking the President's Kokomo speech. . .
. . .this is a tangible example of the impact of his policies.

This is what we voted for, it truly is.

1. And I'm liking that he's laying out the tax thing point by point which is what
helps people to understand and it makes an impression.

Oops, he just said "we can't afford to borrow the $700 billion to keep the tax cuts for the wealthy.

I wish he would have said, if we just let those tax breaks expire, it's only to what they were paying previously, then that would knock XXX off the debt... Just more facts. Like Rachel. :7

2. I wonder how many people will see/hear/read this speech...
I'm betting the truncated Faux Noise version will be hardly recognizable.

Getting the message out is Obama's most important task, and he needs to do a lot more of it.

This is good news! Thanks for the head's up!

5. Few things bring me more joy than the sight of folks who LOOK like Palin bakers...
.... cheering and snapping their cameras at Barack Obama.

4. But can they continue to push the message? We shall see...
.... I WILL say that they had an excellent undersec. of State on in the 9am hour (MSNBC) talking about Afghanistan. Savannah said something like, "but doesn't this mean the President is wavering on his timeline for with drawl" and the gentleman (sorry, didn't catch the name) said, "the President has NEVER said anything different than what he's saying now!" Savannah mumbled and said, "but you know a lot of folks read into that to mean something else."

The twit.

But can the WH talk OVER the noise .... that's the real question.

6. Good point.
It's going to be a hard fight. Especially when you have supporters repeating the same things that the media does.

9. He needs to keep talking directly to the people
No hope the media will interpret what he says honestly.
