You have to wonder if it's the same person at the White House?

Years after the administration displayed the "mission accomplished" banner behind the president as he spoke on an aircraft carrier about how hostilities in Iraq were over, the president spoke yesterday in Arkansas in front of a banner saying "fiscal responsibility."

My day job is managing director in a communications agency. That means I spend a great deal of time thinking about what someone should say, how they should say it, and what will actually be heard by those who hear it.

I also just as frequently wonder why someone hasn't said something.
