Barak Gometa
A Quick thought
Thesis: Obama should drop the presidential gravatas and go full meta, that is, talk to us, the American public, as one of us about the party politics that is rendering his presidency ineffective, thereby solving his Drew Westen-identified broken narrative arc problem, leveraging the totality of his inestimable intelligence and communication skills and exposing the scourge of party politics-born Bachman/Perry false prophets of gravatas — what Krugman likes to call VSPs (very serious people).
Support: Left for the reader as an exercise.
Opening Line Suggestion: “Now, I know I’m both the most credible and least credible person to talk to the American people about politics, but my time as President is short. Moreover, I started my journey to this office as one of you and when I’m done here, Michelle, Malia, Sasha and I will be one of you again. So here’s what you need to know/read/understand/do to fix what’s systemically broken in American politics today.”
