Jack Lew is NOT the right guy for the Obama Admin. to send out to these Sunday shows!

Watching Lew's performance on MTP is painful. Lew is undoubtedly a very smart guy, but he is failing at delivering distilled sound bites to defend the Obama Admin. He has been given numerous chances to identify the real problem - 50 or so radical, extremist republicans in the House holding America hostage. He appears unable to say this clearly and forcefully. Granted, this is my opinion, but I believe that Pres. Obama needs an excellent communicator this weekend and Lew appears to be NOT the guy.

I do no think he is there for this. He is there to frighten people about the debt ceiling. Mass Oct 2013 #2

Even if the President sent a slick salesweasel of the highest entertainment order onto the talking-head shows, and the low-info ignorant teabagger would be unswayed. Those with a modicum of intelligence and curiosity will actually learn something from a spokesperson who goes beyond the vacuous soundbite.

They may be hoping that the banks will call the GOP and tell them to stop their stupidity before they ruin the country.

The Tea Party people are doing a good job on their own to tell the regular people watching they are crazy. No need to say more.
