This is a clear response to the bad press he's getting. When he tells the politicians to stop watching the news, what he really wants is for no one to pay attention to what he is doing. He has tried this before, to keep what he's doing a secret. He signed a petition to take Rush Limbaugh off the air, he tried to keep Fox news out of the loop at the whitehouse, even the other news agencies wouldn't allow that. If it where up to him, he would only allow liberal news people to report on what he was doing to put a bright sunny spin on the lack of leadership he has. He had full democratic control of the government and still couldn't get his agenda passed, this is bad leadership, really bad. And don't blame the GOP has no power, they havn't had any power for 3 years.
I agree he is responding not only to the bad press he has been getting, but his falling poll numbers as well. A lot of people are not happy with him and he is reacting. John Stewart really hammered the democrats the other day. After Brown won in Mass. he went off about how the democrats are acting like that was doomsday and they can now not get anything done. He said, "When brown takes office that will leave you with an 18 seat majority. That is more than Bush ever had when he did whatever the fuck he wanted!"

The main problem with the democrats is that they are spineless. Maybe Obama's new direction will change that. Maybe not. If they don't grow a spine soon they are in trouble later this year.
