at that message guru thing I called his office today and told the staffer that the President and his party had better be yanked out of their defensive crouch–the reactive, capitulatory panic mode that is their standard operating procedure.
What would be so difficult, so counter-intuitive for the President to get up, explain the momentousness of the ACA’s launch, and remind the commonweal that birth pangs in a policy this important are inevitable?
Why is a modicum of messaging common sense so lacking in the post-Reagan Democrats?
