and i think that s a winning strategy. i don t think it s a winning strategy to blame congress. don t waste your space, year speech space as i call it. your opportunity to talk with the voters talking about congress or the other party or gridlock. be specific. i think what the president was doing yesterday in minnesota, you think that was a mistake? you think the president spending so much time attacking the gop and congress, that was a bad idea? is that what i m hearing? i think it s good for him to go to minnesota and iowa, connect on these local venues, i think that s a good strategy. i think wasting that opportunity blaming the other guy is not a way to show that you re a good leader. you tweeted this, a lot of folks have been talking about that, the warren buffett op-ed in new york times over the weekend. we saw the president channeling that. how can president obama get the message that the rich need to pay more, get that message to resonate with voters?
