Whoa, Bob Herbert (Sorta) Gets It...

"The talk inside the Beltway, that super-incestuous, egomaniacal, reality-free zone, is that President Obama and the Democrats have a messaging or public relations problem. We’re being told — and even worse, Mr. Obama and the Democrats are being told — that their narrative is not getting through. In other words, the wonderfulness of all that they’ve done is somehow not being recognized by the slow-to-catch-on masses.

That’s just silly."

He seems compelled to include a gratuitous swipe at Republicans ("The Republican Party has nothing in the way of solutions to Americans’ economic plight."). This is, of course, simply the same stupid straw-man misrepresentation of reality we know we can count on from collectivists. Conservatives have MOUNTAINS of excellent, proven, demonstrable ideas for prying us out of this mire.

But, credit where it's due...today, at least, Herbert gets that "IT'S THE ECONOMY, STUPID(s)!!!"
