Should the President Go Out and Speak?

i remember very clearly, on christmas eve, i think, 22 thousand and nine, when the shoe bomber happened inbom wed. Just been through a brutal year. Should the president go out and speak? And i remember very clearly some people, namely robert gibbs, our press secretary, saying he absolute has eaking. That was a huge error on my part. I was wrong, and it's because people just wanted to see their president at a time of concern. There have deftly been moments where bydon has done that. Will that make substantive progress in congress? Probably not, not until this election. But will it potentially build the political coalition we need to win
