If a person who watches no TV except news (Fox and CNN) and listens to talk radio all day and scans FR a few hours a week missed it, how effective do you really think it was?

My point stands.

The Republicans should stop saying "stop scare mongering on entitlements." That's a passive message. Instead they should scream: "Here's the fact: absent action, these programs will collapse on a biblical scale. We have a plan. The President is supposed to be America's leader. Where is his plan? The fact that he has no plan is one more example of his incompetence. He will not lead on the issue. He will not even take the advice of his own Presidential Comission. Like the Gulf oil debacle, we are watching the signs of his inaction wash ashore, while he goes golfing. When he isn't golfing, he's on vacation. Time to clock in, Mr. 'Present.'"

That is a good argument. Republicans need to be more effective at pointing that out, but them running on protecting Medicare benefits last year gave them an uphill battle.
