How does a lame duck president with little or no credibility on economic issues and overall very low job approval ratings make a nationwide speech that dramatically changes public opinion on the Paulson Plan?

How does a president with few rhetorical skills find the words and delivery to be convincing to a skeptical nation?

How does a president with little credibilty on economic issues rescue the plan proposed by the one person in his administration who has some credibility on economic issues?

How does a Republican president get GOP members of Congress to validate what he says after the speech even though they are the ones who appear to be the most skeptical about the plan?
