Fireside Chats

I wrote this to the White House today:

The Q+A thing is a good idea. How about Fireside Chats? I imagine Pres. Obama is a little tired of being unfavorably compared to Pres. Roosevelt (Well, read the 1944 State of the Union... we do have a LONG way to go to match what FDR said 66 years ago)... but the President is great when he's speaking one on one to the American people, and I think if we Democrats seized the initiative in framing a message of incremental progressive change, rejecting the framing and mean spiritedness of the Great Obstructionist Party and even far too many in our own party, the tide could be turned into a wave of support.
