With each new day, President Obama seems more and more all show and no substance. The latest: a glitzy photo-op to push his health-care plans.
Monday, the White House assembled 150 hand-picked doctors to tout the “wonders” of ObamaCare. Alas, not everyone followed the careful instructions to bring their white lab coats.
No problem: As The Post’s Charles Hurt reported, presidential staffers rustled up a whole bunch of them (left over from the set of “ER,” no doubt) and gave them out to anyone needing one.
And there they stood, all decked out in their doctor garb, while the president said — well, actually, nothing new at all.
No surprise there: As Hurt also reported, Obama’s Saturday radio address was largely lifted word for word from a similar message he gave in July.
See a pattern? Rather than sway folks with sound policy, Obama & Co. think photo-ops, rhetoric and the president’s charm will win the day.
It’s not working: Obama’s talked endlessly on health care, yet support keeps falling. He flew to Denmark to pitch Chicago’s Olympics bid; no luck.
Glitz, charm and oratory may have won Obama last year’s election, but they’re not enough to run America.
Best for all if he learns that.
Soon.
