President Obama delegated his weekly address to Vice President Biden this week while he attended the G20 Summit in Cannes, France. Might the President consider other such substitutions from time to time? This was the first time since the 2008 campaign that I've heard Vice President Biden say so many words. I had forgotten what his voice sounds like!
In their weekly response, the Republican party features a different legislator each week. It keeps things fresh. Why not shift the spotlight around the President's cabinet? We could hear from Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner about his take on the recession, or maybe Labor Secretary Hilda Solis would care to explain the American Jobs Act. No need to keep such smart and influential people under wraps.
President Obama is a fine orator, but does anyone get the sense that he is a bit weary of repeating himself?
