What is the truth?

[kentuck]

What does President Obama need to tell the American people?

Does he need charts and graphs to explain himself? The people are desperately craving the truth.

We know he inherited a mess unlike any in our lifetimes. Why doesn't he talk about that? Why doesn't he explain why he asked for the stimulus package? Why doesn't he explain the bailout that George W Bush asked for before he left office? Why doesn't he explain how he was left a deficit of $1.3 trillion dollars by Mr Bush, after the bank bailout? Why doesn't he explain how the stock market dropped from over 14,000 to about 6,500? Why doesn't he explain that his goal was to keep our economy from nose-diving into another Great Depression? Why doesn't he show a graph of how much Bush and the Repubs spent on the wars and the taxbreaks and doubled the national debt in 8 short years? Why doesn't he explain to the people how they did away with regulations on the big banks and let them run wild around the world until they almost collapsed our entire economy?

Instead, he seems to be satisfied letting the Republicans define him and revise history to their liking. Why does he do that? Does he think everyone remembers what happened and their memories do not need to be refreshed? His lack of message and leadership drives people up the wall.
