Obama: We've heard it all before!
President Obama’s fill-in-the-blank sales pitch
Excerpt:
President Barack Obama’s speeches have a familiar ring these days — no matter if it’s guns, immigration or the budget.
Tout what he’s already done. Say the public’s in his corner. Demand Congress do something. Lament Washington dysfunction. Lay out his own plan. Avoid details. Urge voters to keep up the pressure. Warn it won’t be easy. Bask in the applause.
It’s the fill-in-the-blank approach to selling a presidential agenda: same template, just adjusted for the topic.Comment: Why I can't listen to him!
If there were pictures in listings of proverbs, his would be by "If you can't blind them with brilliance....."
