Will the President start playing with fire?
The teacher whose job it was to prepare us students for a teaching career concluded one of her lessons, “Once you have made your point clear to a class, do not dwell on it.”
By dwelling on a point, no matter how salient and proud you are regarding its construction, you can turn people against you personally. People can become defensive and feel you are trying to make them look stupid. They heard what you said the first time and you should not assume they did not. People do not like feeling you are insulting their intelligence, especially through repetition. And if they hated or dis-agreed with your point from the beginning, you only aggravate their malcontent.
So it is my understanding the President is going to hit the road to sale the public on his newly passed HealthCare Reform Bill. “What for?” I ask. Why is there a need to rub the now highly inflammable bill into the faces of the public? The bill will have been passed by the Congress and signed into law. The train will have left the station so best to let it continue on its way. To do otherwise would, in my opinion, be politically un-wise, physically un-safe and have a more than average propensity to become personally demoralizing.

P.S. By the way, the teacher taught us how to prepare lessons using “repetition of an issue”. In short, it has to do with the saying, “There are more than one ways to skin a cat”.
