I'm not a fan of Obama, not by a long stretch. I will say that what he is saying, DIRECTED AT POLITICIANS, is good. If their primary sources of political information are those news channels, they are failures. Why? Because that makes them no more well-versed in what's going on and the status of the country than the average American, and they're LEADING OUR COUNTRY. Plus as he indicated, politicians anymore are focused on how a decision/vote they make will affect themselves vs. how it will help the people. Perhaps if they actually went out and spoke with people, they might feel a connection and want to try and help them. Otherwise, like on the news, their constituents are merely numbers and statistics. They're constantly connected to businesses and industries through the massive money shoved into their pockets by them - what about average joe trying to survive right now?

The only thing that makes me nervous about what he says is that apparently in his mind, he thinks he is doing what he has been doing for the good of the people - ignoring the economy more or less to try and get this health care bill passed. I don't care if that bill is good or not - it's not the biggest problem we are facing, but for some reason it's been almost the entire focus of his presidency in the last several months.
