Dick Morris "Obama Clinically Dead" (Politically Speaking)

From Dick Morris. former Clinton pollster, turned conservative writer: When the President of the United States summons a joint session of Congress in prime time and delivers a nationally televised speech on the key issue facing the nation and speaks well and forcefully but does not move up in the polls, he is clinically dead.
Even though 31.4 million households – more than a third of the vote – watched Barack Obama’s pseudo-State of the Union speech, he got, incredibly, almost no bounce in the polls.
There are three polls that have been released measuring Obama’s popularity in the aftermath of his address: CNN/Opinion Research, Gallup, and Rasmussen. In their polls prior to the speech these three showed an average Obama job approval of 42.3. After the speech, his approval averaged 43.6, a gain that is well within the margin of error.
Obama labored mightily and brought forth a gnat!
The conclusion is obvious: Americans have tuned the president out. His speeches have as little effect as George W. Bush’s prime time addresses about the war in Iraq or Lyndon Johnson’s about Vietnam. America has stopped listening

When I went to college, I had a professor who was nationally recognized as a leading professor in special education. The man got his Bachelors, Master's and Doctorate degree in short order. He then worked a year in an institution and then went to work in different colleges throughout the country and was a professor the rest of his career.
He was training future special education teachers but never once taught in a classroom setting. He could write great papers and do research and he was very nice man, but if he stepped into an inner city high school to teach, he would have been eaten up and spit out within a week.

There is a difference between the world of education where all you do is read books and do some research and the real world where you actually have to do the work, be flexible and adapt to changing conditions.

President Obama is an educator and is not living in the real world and his policies and his attitude shows it. He enjoys the parties, like college professors tend to do, the travel, which college professors love to do- all on some else's dime. He lectures the American people and people who disagree with him and he refuses to listen to the other side. He also doesn't give a crap about his supporters as he has thrown his main supporters, inner city minorities, under the bus.

We need a leader in the White House, not a college professor in chief.
