I bet that people will be impressed with his honest presentation of the fiscal cliff we’re heading off and how Medicare expenses fit into that picture. They will appreciate his sincerity and general niceness. They will understand that his plan doesn’t threaten their retirement but works to help their children and grandchildren face a more secure future. And he will win them over.
