Blitzkrieg! - "President Obama Is Not Doing Enough To Promote Health Care Reform"...

[TomCADem]

Is one the most delusional arguments anyone can make. Between the White House meetings, the ABC special, the numerous interviews, press conferences, town halls and speech to a joint session of Congress, and town halls the President is a freaking force of nature. The NY Times reports:

Newsmakers in the past have managed to pull of the unlikely feat of hitting the big three Sunday interview shows on CBS, NBC and ABC. But this is a presidential first.

If there’s one thing this White House doesn’t seem worried about, it is that Americans will get tired of seeing President Obama. His talk-show marathon will come after the speech on Wall Street today and a rally in Maryland later this week.

The appearances will come at the end of a week in which the Senate Finance Committee will presumably have proposed its long-awaited version of a health care bill; the White House’s consideration of this idea suggests just how pivotal time this is in the health care negotiations.

It’s also a reminder of just how much Mr. Obama is out there. As of his seven-month in office mark in August, he had done 114 interviews, compared to 37 by former President George W. Bush and 41 by former president Bill Clinton at a similar point in their administrations, according to Martha Joynt Kumar, a political science professor at Towson University in Maryland.

This also just underscores how idiotic the GOP's efforts are to criticize the President on the rare occasions he takes a day off. Instead of running commercials attacking the President for taking a day off once in a blue moon, they would have more credibility if they attacked the President for being a workaholic.
