One of the many reasons Democrats think they got sacked in the November elections is because they failed to tell their story well. President Obama has agreed, suggesting he needs to communicate better. And now the public concurs.
In our latest Washington Whispers poll, a whopping 63 percent said that they think holding more White House press conferences would work for Obama. What they don't want is more frivolous appearances, like The View. In fact, when asked if he should star in a reality show like Sarah Palin, only 6 percent agreed.
