I would have thought that the problem required a speech to the nation to indicate how serious the situation is.

The media inevitably addresses different content because it requires different presentation. Reporting on a newspaper op-ed is not easy for an intrinsically audiovisual medium.

I am inclined to fault Obama for delivering his (fairly strong) message only in a medium that few people bother to consume anymore. We may or may not be in a postpartisan era, but we are definitely in a postliterate age.
