A no vote for unemployment extension but a demand for extension of tax cuts for the rich. Do the

math.

1. The math needs to be shown to the masses on a white board with an easy-to-understand

explanation.

The 'talking points' go right over their head. All they hear is "no tax raises" and "cut the deficit". They make no connection between the two.

2. Obama needs to stand in front of a chalk board and draw this out for public.

[gateley]

3. I totally agree. I've never seen anybody explain things as concisely and logically

as Rachel, though. It seems as though sometimes Obama talks to us with the assumption we're up-to-date and know what he knows (example I keep citing is not explaining that the moretorium on deep sea drilling only applied to those that hadn't begun operations, not those that were already out there on the job, but it was portrayed as all the thousands who would lose their jobs), whereas Rachel takes us from step one and on to each step along the way.
