"The Administration and its team needs to talk up their accomplishments more"

[Peacetrain]

Has anyone else noticed this talking point the last couple of weeks, months etc.

They have been..but it is like no one is listening.

You can say, this is the strongest job growth coming out of a recession...and if it was a republican.. there would be this amen chorus..but with the Democrats.. it is eggs thrown.

I could keep going..but we all should know by now all the things that have been accomplished in the last 19 months.

When do we as Democrats.. start pushing our agenda.

I am serious here folks.

Can't we do some of this without being led by the hand.. I mean we are not that weak as a party I hope.

1. The problem is the media

They set the agenda and they are not interested in any progress made by this administration and the Democrats as usual do not present any kind of united vocal front. It is all going to fall on the president and whether he has the time and energy to rally the troops and whether or not the troops can be rallied in the midst of a very very deep recession. I am still betting on the president to pull it off but he had better get busy and it better be soon.

2. I am betting on him too.. that is for sure

3. Democrats are running against the accomplishments

My congressman is running against protection of the forests. My Senator is running against the bail-outs. In other parts of the country they're running against health care reform. Teachers are psychotic against education reform.

Maybe Democrats are just incurable complainers.

4. and who's going to do this for them?

when they've managed to piss off almost all of their traditional constituencies?

5. I think Labor Day is when Obama 'lets her rip'!
