Well, he’s actually right about that, but it’s not something you want to hear from the president. And to be fair it’s only by implication:
Obama, one year to the day after his historic inauguration, argued that when Americans are educated about the details of his plan “those specific provisions are actually very popular.”
“One of the things that I have learned in Washington is you have to repeat yourself a lot because because unfortunately it doesn’t penetrate,” he said.
Yeah, that’s it Barack. It’s because we didn’t hear your side of the health care debate enough. I was sick of hearing about it back in August and here it is January and we still are hearing about it. The truth of the matter is we don’t want your brand of government medicine. We don’t appreciate being placed in a strait-jacket, forcing us to have some form of health care. The government is already way too intrusive.
The more Barack Obama repeats himself the less patience people will have for his agenda. So keep on repeating yourself Obama. You may not get the change you want, but you just might get the change you deserve in 2012.

You know, I had this exact reaction to his comment when I heard it. And I only had to hear it once

What I hear him saying is that Americans are thickheaded and that it takes a lot to change the American psyche. And while I of course don't agree with what he's trying to pound to our heads, he is right in his point. We libertarians have been trying to get people to see the light for a long time, but it's been difficult to "penetrate".
