From the commentary: Obama told the Los Angeles Times the economic mess he "inherited" required him to take so many rapid actions that he could not "communicate effectively to the public in any coherent way." This has to be the most ridiculous spin to emerge to explain the "Why Republicans Massacred Us" question: Obama somehow failed to communicate his "accomplishments." This man has been everywhere from MTV to CNBC to Univision to the entire NBC-Universal slate of channels selling his policies. And when he's not there, the reporters do his bidding regardless...perhaps no president in modern times has been granted more forums with more ring-kissing interviewers to explain himself. These people in no way ruined the effectiveness of his communications by asking hardball questions.

This was also the angle Michael Medved on his radio show was taking yesterday...Here, a sitting president has access to not only the fawning liberal media, but his bully pulpit, and he claims he couldn't get his message of "accomplishments" out?

His very accomplishments were the problem!!!

Medved called this spin "the most pathethic ever."

Obummer is no Ronald Reagan.

There is no great affection for him in this country and there is enormous opposition to his policies.

He won’t learn from adversity and humility is not a quality noted in this President.

LOL!

People are on to him.

He “communicated”, all right.

Obama proved that he is an unabashed LIAR!

Obama lives in dream land and still wants to believe you are terminally dumbed down.

I keep waiting for Obama or Gibbs or, better yet, Pelosi to say, “That went pretty good, don’t you think?”

Actually, he did inherent economic problems. Economic problems caused by Barney Frank and his dem-party enablers. Problems caused by the relaxation of banking and loan standards that led directly to the financial meltdown. A relaxation driven by Frank and other dems and ignored by Bush (for God only knows what reasons).

So yeah, Obama inherited that. But he inherited it mainly from the dems (the the repubs could have stopped it if they had had balls, which they didn’t at the time... hopefully do now).

He’s such a moroon!

Last night Marco Rubio did what inmamo could never do. He gave a fantastic extemporaneous speech.

His speech will be given again at the Republican Convention and Rubio’s nebula will outshine the brown dwarf that was Obama

The Kenyan usurper will have another chance to "communicate" with his scheduled appearance at 1 o'clock today.

My guess is that it will be as much of a flop as his endorsements were in the election.

The more we saw him the more we despised him and his utter arrogance.

Please let the Democrats believe this. I heard this Dem talking point all night. The Dems are smoking crack if they believe this.

Obama claimed he had done so much, "We have done things that some folks don't even know about!"

For once, Sheik Obama has told the truth.

Obama’s recent public appearances—especially in Ohio!—just drove American voters nuts. He often sounded like a slightly toned-down version of Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and that really didn’t look or sound Presidential.

Borrowed this from yahoo post. Never forget America!!

It would be beneficial for the American people if a member of the maninstream media found the courage to ask Barack Obama why he continues to conceal virtually the entire paper trail of his existence.

Unfortunately, such a question is very unlikely to be asked of him The current president’s original typewritten long form birth certificate, school records, SAT and LSAT scores, college and law school admission records and grade transcripts and thesis papers medical records, passport history and other relevant records and documents have all never been released or allowed to be subjected to any sort of scrutiny, despite several years of repeated requests for disclosure by numerous individuals and non-traditional media organizations The Obama 2008 campaign and subsequent administration have to date spent a considerable amount of money on legal fees, estimated in the millions of dollars, to fight Freedom of Information Act filings and other requests to examine this material On his first full day in office, Januray 21, 2009, the current president signed Executive Order 13489, effectively prohibiting the release or disclosure of any of his personal records and papers without his specific authorization

Barack Obama’s true origins, past associations, idealogical convictions, behavioral motivations and ongoing relationships are matters of great importance to a fast growing number of Americans of all political persuasions who just want to know the truth What is being hidden and why are they hiding it

Obama’s face has been on TV almost every day for the past three years preaching his socialist swill. I have reached the point where I switch channels whenever he shows.

The part of communication that Obama failed at...is listening.

Ha! We had him pegged before he was ever sworn in. Those propagandists must be pretty stupid to think we believe them. I heard the same spin about Comrade Pelosi - “we never got to know her”.
