My own quick thoughts on President Obama’s speech to a joint-session of congress last night: He is over-exposed, desperate, and repeating himself over and over again in the belief that merely by a more judicious choice of words he can persuade people that the end result of this partisan Democrat healthcare travesty will actually be a silk purse. The very Americans he most needs to persuade are the same ones who are likely to be thinking: “What? Another Obama speech? Doesn’t he ever shut up? What’s he trying so damned hard to sell?”

The speech was billed as one where the president would clear up once and for all the various alleged misconceptions and allegedly false rumors regarding what might be contained in whatever bill the Democrats ultimately might force through. That part of his speech amounted to him ticking off a few examples and asserting, “It’s a lie,” or “It’s not true.” No explanation. Just trust me.

Trust must be earned. Since his inauguration, with misstep after misstep and all of his promises coming up empty, President Obama has been earning only its opposite.
