Obama: "Should've sold policies better."


Obama made recent statements stating that he felt he should've stated his policies he is attempting to implement in better ways than he actually did during his presidential campaign. He met with supporters at a friendly backyard gathering in Seattle and stated that, "that he was so focused on getting the policy right on helping the economy recover that he didn't devote enough energy to advertising the benefits." When asked about his health care policy he knew that the opponents of his proposal would fight hard against it and try to stop it at all costs. Obama also said the stimulus bill, titled the Recovery Act, would compromise provisions people would like to see such as tax cuts, infrastructure development and clean energy investments.
Obama went after republicans as well stating that his policies were more attainable then the ones republicans were trying to pass with their bills. Personally, I believe that if the policy was good enough it would've sold itself and there wouldn't be any need for Obama to go out and talk about how they didn't work out that well.
