Specifics?

Whenever the President or someone from the Administration speaks nowadays, it seems to be the trendy thing to say that they lack "specifics." First, the specifics have to come from members of Congress, not the White House. It makes no sense to provide something with specifics that would, without a doubt, be wiped clean in a committee. Then, do you really want to listen to a speech full of specifics? These people are talking to the American people, not American experts. Who would listen to a 3 hour speech with specifics on how something would be done? You go and find me something that says more than 30% would want that, then I'll consider arguing for it. Here's the thing, though, if your elected official isn't doing what you want, it's your job to vote him/her out, and how often does that even come close to happening?
