Where is the White House's counteroffensive on health care messaging? And how many times do we have to ask for one before we get one? A lot of people don't agree with "health care reform" generically because this administration refuses to continue to sell it to anyone. It's the same reason only 6 percent or so of the American people, in one poll, thought the stimulus created or saved any jobs, when the actual number is several million.
I don't like always having to write critical posts about President Obama. But it's the same story over and over. He refuses to fight, and we lose the messaging war. Health care reform was the biggest achievement of his administration. He should act like it. Every time a Republican talks about repealing health care reform, the White House should detail exactly what it is that the Rs are talking about repealing.
So far, I don't know anyone who can tell you anything that health care reform does, or will do, other than something about pre-existing conditions. That's crazy. And the fact that the White House either doesn't realize it, or can't figure out how to address it (or just as bad, feels it's unaddressable or doesn't need to be addressed), is an even bigger problem.
Please, defend yourselves.
