When the president is going to be on TV, do you expect to learn something from him and know more afterward than you did before?\u00a0 I sure don’t.\u00a0 It seems to be a lost art, the president informing the nation in a serious non-political manner.\u00a0 Not blaming the previous president for all the woes of his office, as if each presidency is a TV series episode that’s neatly wrapped up at the end of each show.\u00a0 Or being able to speak off-the-cuff and communicate in an intelligible fashion.\u00a0 The last three presidents haven’t been able to communicate well, or if they could wouldn’t communicate truthfully.<\/p>\n
This isn’t just Democrat party presidents either.\u00a0 Bush couldn’t communicate well, but he was at least truthful.\u00a0 So it’s been 20 years since we’ve had a president who could talk to the nation as presidents should.\u00a0 What does this mean?\u00a0 An entire generation has been born and is reaching voting age without ever seeing one.\u00a0 They might not even know that this isn’t how it’s supposed to be.<\/p>\n
Three in a row is indicative of something, but what?\u00a0 The obvious connection seems to be the demise of the Cold War, so perhaps we don’t elect serious presidents because it doesn’t seem to be serious times.\u00a0 A young Democrat comes along and talks about hope and change, including altering the ocean levels, and people fall for it because it sounds good to them.\u00a0 It doesn’t make sense at the time and what you hear after the inauguration predictably doesn’t make sense either.<\/p>\n
I long for a president who can explain stuff on TV without a teleprompter and leaves me knowing something I didn’t know before and can trust is truthful.\u00a0 Can Romney do this?\u00a0 Maybe, maybe not.\u00a0 But the present occupier certainly cannot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
