Wages of Spin!!!

The Democrats have paid the wages of Obama's spin. Independents and moderate Republicans who voted for Obama learned that they had been sold a counterfeit. Now the greater portion of Americans will not care what Obama says until they believe that he is genuine. Obama can no longer persuade the American people, because he has lost the President's most valuable commodity: credibility.
Nicholas Kristof wrote recently that Obama should turn from the "prose" of governing to the "poetry" of campaigning on behalf of his accomplishments. With a "better product to sell" than the opposition, he should improve his "salesmanship" by demonstrating his emotional engagement with the issues. He should "start sweating -- and slugging" at the bully pulpit.
Conservatives should hope that Obama follows this advice, since it would deepen the disaster. Obama doesn't need any more Greek columns, no Vero Possumus seal, no Abraham Lincoln paraphernalia. No bit lip, no false tears, no sweating or anything that is not true to who he is. Obama's actions in the Presidency have not matched the costume he wore in the campaign. Americans will not trust him, will not believe him, will not be persuaded by him, until they believe he's no longer performing.
Obama doesn't need more theatrics. He needs to show America he's not an actor.
