Well done Mr. President. Now....Do what you say you will do

[Perky]

Get out of the Rose Garden, put the bully pulpit on wheels and go sell this to the middle class.

Let;'s go fill up some stadiums and scare the bejeezus out to the Party of No..

3. My only concern about his appearances, is that he's usually just preaching

to the choir. Although I'm always energized and sooooo excited when I watch these, I'm not sure he changes any minds. Those who oppose him aren't listening, or if they are, it's from the direction of finding fault with everything he says.

What do you think?

Regardless, I think we're on a roll and it's going to get done.

4. well, see, they often allow news cameras into these events...

.... and those who need to be preached to often watch the nightly news.

5. Good point -- thanks for the glimmer of hope. :-) nt

7. Was the choir the summit with the Rethugs around the table?

Didn't look like they were a Choir to me.

Or when he walked into a Room full of Republicans and took their questions on Health Care and came out smelling like a Rose?

The Meetings that were viewed by millions of people onn CSPAN and everywhere.

12. Good points, goclark!

Nah, he's not always "preaching to the choir".

[gateley]

13. You know that's not what I meant. I'm talking about the people who show up

to his rallies in whatever towns.

Do you disagree that the majority of people attending are Dems who are in agreement with Obama?

And the millions who viewed the meetings went away with the same talking points/stances that those whom they follow put forth. The Republican viewers -- everyday people -- are still spouting their leaders' criticisms and demands for 'starting over'.

Again, do you disagree?

[gateley]

14. delete - dupe

8. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't?

:evilgrin:

[gateley]

15. That's always the way it seems, but I want to be clear -- I'M not damning him. I just

don't know if his visits actually change any minds. Although at this point, I'm feeling pretty confident, nonetheless.

16. Actually a few stadiums - even if it's all 'choir' would make for some damn

good theater on the TV as opposed to a hundred or so people in a room.

Let Congress see however many thousands in the stands cheering loudly for some of this - then thank them, remind them to call their representative and to vote when they have the chance. He could focus the public's general disgust of Congress right now into plenty of pressure.

Denver II anyone?

[gateley]

17. Gotta agree, it would sure send a message to congress. nt

[Perky]

9. He need to go to Dallas and Charlotte and Columbus and New Orleans

[DevonRex]

11. Just the thought of Dallas

sent chills through me. And not the good kind.

Sorry, Texans. It was just the memory that flashed through my mind.

[gateley]

2. He will. nt

[DevonRex]

6. And let's do our part, too. Make calls, go to the scheduled events.

And yes, Perky, let's scare the bejeezus out of the Party of No and those psycho teabaggers, too!

[Perky]

10. I am with ya!!!

[goclark]

18. Yes, I made calls today and it sure felt good

That it was DU was suppose to be for ~ being a team and working for the Democratic Party.

That is what I miss but I decided to make my calls and it was very rewarding.
