President Obama took right to the road- right where he belongs right now- the day after his big State of the Union Speech. He showed up in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, to tout their energy saving, job creating work there at Orion Energy Systems, hoping to both sell his policies and his politics there. While he won Wisconsin by 14% in 2008, the GOP cleaned house there in 2010.The President belongs on the road. He needs to sell people on what he wants to do. Only public pressure will help him get anything done these next two years, while the GOP runs the House. They won't just pass stuff he wants to be nice, he needs to pressure them into action. The public likes him, but they need to understand his policies. For that, he needs to be on the road. This was a good step. Get out of the bubble.
Oh yeah, and you have to win Wisconsin in 2012 to be re-elected. Not a bad start.
