The problem with team Obama

They all suck

I mean as public personas. For example, Kathleen Sebelius is a very smart competent HHSS who behind the scenes is doing a wonderful job. In public she is a disaster. (But she is not alone)

When she goes on TV she does not know how to speak extemporaneously about health care. She can stick to the talking points but when she asked a question off track she gets hammered. That is the downside to Obama. He is the super-nova in public, and the rest of the team are candle lights.

With exception of Rahm Emanuel, and Peter Orszag, ALL the Obama people are a disaster in public. The White House has to get Peter Orszag out there more. Obama himself can not be in every place at every time. They also have to get some of the better House and Senate members out there. Where is Barney Frank, Carolyn McCarthy, Russ Feindgold.

 Where are the troops?

The only Supernova that we have... (1.33 / 3)
Is the one that is destroying our economy. Obamanomics is the downfall of our soceity, and it really doesn't matter who the "public face" of the administration is, because nobody with any ounce of patriotism or right and wrong can get in front of a camera and SUPPORT these horrific actions. - As to your choices to be the new faces, I will agree with you on Feingold, as he is articulate and unassuming. I don't know too much about McCarthy, but PLEASE PLEASE bring on Barney Frank. If he is the face of this "New America", the Conservatives will take power sooner rather than later! Tolerance is one thing, but Barney Frank is such a stuck up, presumptuous little imp that even if he wasn't such a flaming queen he would be unbearable to withstand... Some other recommendations for effective communicators would be people like Harold Ford Jr. and Phil Bredesen of Tennessee, Evan Bayh of Indiana and the governor of North Dakota (his name escapes me). Thanks... :)

If I was Cenk (none / 0)

If I was Cenk, I'd make some high-school crack like "Well, Barney Frank sucks too, but in a different sense..."

Seriously, Barney is great, and I'd love to see more of him, (heh), first and foremost because the fact he's openly gay just outrages the Republicans so. I love seeing them get all indignant; Rush gets all puffed like a big old toad.

No, really, Barney is articulate, aggressive when need be, and takes no crap from anybody. Just what the Dems need in a front man.

Who just happens to be the most powerful right hand man since Tom Hagen of "The Godfather"... He's not a schmuck, he's very dangerous and should be monitored closely... :)

Dan Quayle was a pretty damn good right hand man...Better than Hagen and Emmanuel combined.
