Polling Lessons For Obama From Oklahoma City

Sunday, January 16, 2011


You're exactly right.  

A more accurate comparison is Tucson and Virginia Tech.  
It's not like Obama and Democrats are talking about the real cause of and solution for the events on Saturday (expansion of mentaI heaIth services and gvn control legisIatio­n) -- Obama and Democrats are still making it all about "inciviIit­y".

Obama should be using the power of the bully pulpit, and the opportunit­y of the *shock&awe­* of last Saturday, and his poll numbers to call for the dramatic expansion of mental health services across the nation (how about now for reintroduc­ing the public option?) and for gun control laws.

But that's not going to happen because politician­s aren't about to do what's necessary, i.e., commit money to expanded mental health services across the nation and stand up to the NRA and start dealing with this avalanche of gvns we're sitting on.  

So they do what they do, flap their gums about not flapping their gums.
