			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday while thousands of protesters stormed the capital, President Obama ran away to Minnesota.</p>
<p>Obviously he ran to Minnesota because he is well-supported there by the obambots.</p>
<p>But what is there to gain in that?  He won&#8217;t get as much coverage as the protesters in DC will.  He won&#8217;t win any new converts in a hall full of people who already blindly support him and his vague, blown-to-pieces-by-facts  &#8221;plan&#8221;.</p>
<p>The clear outcome is even more division than there already is.  He continues his screed about <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/companyNewsAndPR/idUSN1246707220090912?pageNumber=1&amp;virtualBrandChannel=11617">&#8220;lies&#8221; and &#8220;scare tactics&#8221;</a> and brings no new or persuasive information.  I guess he thinks if he continues to pound the same tired crap enough someone will begin to believe it.</p>
<p>The irony is that as the changer-in-chief he completely misses the <a href="http://www.nlpu.com/whatnlp.htm" target="_blank">NLP adage</a> &#8220;If what you&#8217;re doing isn&#8217;t working, try something else!&#8221; because he just keeps repeating it over and over &#8211; like a robot.  To his obambots.  What he needs is a playbook different than <a href="http://www.obamalinsky.com" target="_blank">Alinsky&#8217;s</a>.  Try something new Mr. President.  Try winning over your detractors with honesty and clarity.  If that doesn&#8217;t work, maybe you should rethink the plan.  Now there&#8217;s a novel idea &#8211; re-think something with a view towards finding something palatable to the majority of Americans instead of a minority of mooches who want something for nothing.</p>
