Excellent point. President Bush coming directly to the people is long overdue, as Kudlow says, it's a good start, but we hope he will keep it up.

This is a key point:

"Message repetition. Without it the mainstream media will fill the void with their usual brand of pessimism."

[FairOpinion]

Another important point:

"Supposedly Bush will follow up with several more speeches on the war. If so, the new communications and marketing approach will yield high dividends -- not only for Bush’s political standing, but more importantly for the health and security of the entire United States."

Bush actually appeared on the South Lawn of the White House to make a statement on the success of the economy and his tax-cut policies.

It's about freakin' time.

Kudlow makes some very good points but leaves one omission.

Points: Bush must keep advertising much as Klintoon always had his big yap open as he traded on the rewards of Reagan's re-make of the economic machine aided by the strong Republican stand in the House of Representatives.

Omission: Kudlow doesn't give adequate gravity to the value Klintoon received by having an ultra friendly media as his continual cheerleader; Bush doesn't have that.

“ So will Republican congressional passage of budget and tax-cut legislation.”

Please, a little cut on the growth of one small part of the budget and we are impressed?

The Republicans have been on a drunken spending blitz, and are only slowing down to catch their breath.

How about Bush actually threatening a veto over too much spending instead of not enough?

How about having our military do its job of killing and breaking things instead of being traffic cops, and rebuilding their country. Why not have the Iraq army clear the road of all vehicles before a U.S. convoy comes down a road. Any vehicle still on the road should be toast, instead we are PC and our soldiers die.

How about Iraq paying for their own countries reconstruction. How about paying us back.

How about Bush stop building statues to Rosa Parks, and bridges in Alaska that go nowhere and Medicaid drug giveaways and grow up.
