President Obama often gets it right on substance, but his communication is way off...as usual...

Snip-
From health care forward, Obama has not found his voice, except for singular, moving events such as Newtown or Gabby Giffords (and Ferguson to a lesser extent.) But those events provide comfort only in their immediacy; he cannot seem to ever get it right on his more enduring policies. If I were Obama, I would bring David Gergen back to the White House for the umpteenth time, a wise old hand who has served both parties admirably. I doubt we would be discussing the optics quite so much.

I remember Gergan. I liked him once upona time.
But this is about optics. I want to talk about the communication skills of President Obama. At this point some might think that I have breached a rubicon by saying that.
But...
He is the most scrutinized president in the history of the USA. I read that, somewhere, so don't quote me.
But...
the politics of exclusion is a disastrous course
