In this media-saturated world, it's really important to get out there on TV and make your case. The Republicans and their minions are doing it all day long every day - that is their right. Obama needed to realize that the election didn't end in November last year. It continues every day, and will until he leaves office (if then). I've been waiting for him to show on Letterman and give lots of prime time speeches. If he wants to drive policy, if he wants health care reform to succeed, he has to go to where the LILI (low-interest, low-information, in SKG's lingo) voters are - and they are watching Letterman. He needs to go on Oprah, SNL, etc. etc. and push for health care reform. This is how to change the world in this modern age. Bravo, Barack!
