Last night on The Daily Show Jon Stewart did an incredibly direct segment that brought clearly into focus for me one of President Obama's weaknesses. The issues that President Obama is facing are really big and important and the solutions are not necessarily things that he can just implement by himself. There are, however, solutions for all the issues that we face. It is the politics makes implementing those solutions difficult and complicated not the solutions themselves. As Jon Stewart makes clear, President Obama claims that everything is complicated, but it is really only the politics that are complicated. President Obama needs to propose the uncomplicated straight forward common sense solutions that are based on logic, science and historical precedent and then take those solutions to the American people so that Congress has no choice but to act.
Anyway, you will enjoy the following segment from The Daily Show. The best part starts at minute 6:05.
