Sunday morning "Talking Heads" Lineup for 7-11-2010

George Wenschhof

Senior White House Adviser David Axelrod makes the rounds this morning appearing on four of the morning political discussion shows. While he was masterful in his advise in the campaign for the presidency, he has been only average in his appearances in front of the television camera. He is not overly effective as a public speaker and as a face for the white House policies.

In fact, that is one area the Obama administration has failed in, regardless of the issue being addressed, is to have an administration spokesman be effective and connect with the public. The best, to date, has been Thad Allen, who is overseeing the BP Gulf oil spill containment and cleanup effort. Of course, President Obama is in a class of his own when it comes to communicating with voters.

You have stories like the "spy swap" with Russia, the continuing BP Gulf coast oil spill disaster, the U.S. suit against Arizona and it's immigration law, the long awaited recent White House visit by Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and the lagging economy on tap for discussion on Sunday.
