we don t really trust washington or business or the leaders of this country to fix things anymore. well, they trust obama more than they trust all the other institutions and people that you ve mentioned. but we i, you know, look, i know we have a narrative here that we re all interested in. this is katrina all over again, this is where the republicans were, as pat suggested in 2006-2008. if you look at the actual numbers in that poll, for example, the vote in the congressional races at this point favors the republicans by four points. that s actually better than in that same poll in february. what the president has to do and he s the intervening event we re about through legislating. he has to go out there and he has to make a very powerful case. he s the secret weapon. he can have a huge impact. we need the obama of 2008 out there communicating with people, because if the democrats think they re going to win this or save themselves by localizing races, that s a prescription fo
