Nobody cares about the apology

But she's right about the plan.  That's what the country is watching for. 
But that's not what Obama does.  He's used to saying big, pretty nothings, and having everyone tell him how cool he is ("No-drama Obama") for it.

And he's filled his administration with ideologues.  Their repeated (and likely unsupervised) tactical machinations have led us to a point where nobody in their right mind would trust anything that the White House says:

• The Department of Justice's political interference in the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case.
• The ATF's gun-running scandal
• The "cram-down" of Chrysler and GM secured creditors, so that the UAW could get the money
• The complete failure to propose a budget, with both houses of Congress controlled by his party until the beginning of this year
• Demonizing Wall Street, "The Rich", and anyone who doesn't give big bucks to his campaign.  And some who do
• Obamacare, with 4000 pages of unread law leading to who knows what regulations from the Secretary of HHS?

In short, why on earth would he expect that anyone with two neurons to rub together to give him the benefit of the doubt?  There's an easy answer.

He doesn't see the problem as the Economy.  He sees the problem as getting re-elected.

And so, the need for the Plan.  We don't care about the big, pretty nothings.  We care about what you're going to do to get 10 Million Americans back to work.  Which means that we care about how you're going to get businesses to start hiring.  Which means we care about which of your constituencies you'll throw under the bus to get private hiring out of regulatory-induced vapor lock.

Because that is the issue at hand.  And quite frankly, if Obama doesn't deal with this credibly - with actions, not words that are big, pretty nothings - then Mussolini could beat him this next election.
