MSNBC<\/em> has the story Deval Patrick reveals \u2018huge mistake\u2019 Democrats made in 2014<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne problem the president has is he doesn\u2019t tell the story well or regularly,\u201d he told host Chuck Todd. Obama needs to tout his accomplishments more often, Patrick said, citing the \u201cimportance of repetition.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I would never inflict any show on you that was hosted by Chuck Todd, so I will not include any video from whatever show it was.<\/p>\n

As for what Deval Patrick was reported to have said, that has been my complaint about Obama for 6 years now.\u00a0 One more thing though, there is a story to be told well and regularly, but there is also part of the story that can’t be told well because the story is not good.\u00a0 Obama muffed his chance when his administration did not go after criminal complaints against the criminal bank executives.\u00a0 That was completely his administration’s call.\u00a0 Congress could not have blocked him.<\/p>\n

He is also too strong a believer in right wing\u00a0 economics, and his actions have clearly\u00a0 demonstrated that.<\/p>\n

His pushing of anti-middle-class trade deals is also a hard story to tell well.\u00a0 It is not just that he is acquiescing to someone else’s activity.\u00a0 It is his administration that is negotiating this in secret, and he is in the forefront of pushing for the TPP in word and deed.<\/p>\n

By the way, Governor Patrick, you are not so good a follower of your own advice.\u00a0 The Governor does not make a lot of well publicized appearances to tell his story frequently.\u00a0 When I have hard him speak, he does tell the story well, though.<\/p>\n

Yes, the key is to tell the story well and frequently even after you are elected, but first you’d better have a good story worth telling. For instance, I think Elizabeth Warren is making the record for a good story to tell, and her public appearances inside and outside of the Senate are telling that story well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
