    Why should he have to work be hind the scenes? Who is he afraid he will make angry that citizens are receiving basic decency?

    The owners of this country, that’s who. So when you say, "OH he’s just listening to the GOPs talking points, the exact opposite. The GOP is stealing our talking points and pretending they could do better.

      On one level I like that he’s working behind the scenes. I like a leader that does their job and gets shit done without tooting their own horn.

      That said, it’s a very idealistic view of leadership, not a pragmatic one. I completely agree that he needs to really about the behind the scenes things. We don’t have the luxury of not advertising it.
