More Bully Pulpit! This will be his third in the past two weeks.

1. The argument that he's not using the bully pulpit is pretty much dead

The only argument left is "Why didn't he use it like this for other issues."

In other words, moving goalposts to be expected.

2. Yup, that's what's going to happen. Has already happened. Is happening.

They are so predictable by now, aren't they?

6. anyone who watches C-span regularly knows it was dead before it started. n/t

3. He told Cantor he's "taking it to the American people." He's doing it. n/t

8. As he should.

He should speak everyday. If people want to listen, they will. If not, they won't. But at least the President can say he tried to reach out to the people. He can't help if they don't listen.

4. Good. Bush would be on TV three times a day to ram through his crap.

And enough of these closed-door meetings. They're debating life and death for common, working class people. They need to be in an open forum and on the record.

5. He needs a prime time press conference next week or a televised speech or focus group

Talking to reporters will not do much good any more.

7. I hope he acts like a d*** again. We need a tough leader.
