In explaining Coakley's defeat in Massachusetts (and the Democrats' losses in the governors races in New Jersey and Virginia), President Obama says that that were so busy solving crises that they weren't able to get their message out to the American people. This "explanation" has become the refuge of every failed politician in recent history. Couldn't get his message out? He's on TV more often than Jay Leno.
He got the message out just fine. The voters simply rejected it.
But he continues to believe the American people acted stupidly, like a bunch of cops who would arrest someone in their own home. Maybe the president will announce a National Beer Summit Day so we can all hear him better, and he can get his point through our thick skulls.
Really now, who's the one not getting the point?
Right on the money!
