This is not a complaint, but an observation: President Obama has made no public speeches, appearances, or remarks since Monday night.

According to CBS News’ Mark Knoller, he has no public or press appearances scheduled for today.

Is this because the White House is so confident that Monday night’s speech worked, that no further comment is needed? Or is it that after multiple appearances, a press conference, a “town hall”/rally at the University of Maryland, etc., they’ve determined that the president’s arguments aren’t working?

Evidence against the latter is that David Plouffe, Jay Carney, etc. are continuing the same arguments. Evidence against the former is that this is a president who loves to give speeches.
