Obama defends strategy of tackling many issues

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama defended his strategy of tackling multiple challenges instead of focusing solely on fixing the U.S. economy in a return on Wednesday to the political fund-raising that helped elect him. Obama helped fellow Democrats bring in at least $3 million during two events, his first fund-raisers since taking office more than two months ago. He used his speeches to defend his proposed $3.55 trillion budget plan as the key to reviving the U.S. economy. Critics in Washington say Obama is trying to do too many things at once, complicating his efforts to mend the economy. Many political experts say he needs to act now, while he remains popular with the American people, to win congressional passage of his top policy priorities. "I'm not going to kick these problems down the road for another four years, another eight years, to the next president, the next generation," he told cheering supporters.

He is back on the campaign trail raising money for the Dems, so they will pay him back by voting to bankrupt our country through his grandiose Socialist plans. Sickening.

It’s Obamageddon. The same crap that they pulled on the taxpayers after Katrina. “We’ve got to spend billions and billions or it’s the end of the world.” America is on the ropes right now. The Commie DemocRATS are going to hit Americans with every punch they’ve got before we can regain our balance and get off the ropes. It’s not good.

“tackling multiple challenges”

Real meaning is ramrodding “6. to accomplish or put into action by force, intimidation, etc.: to ramrod a bill through Congress.

Unsustainable entitlement programs. Wonderful sentiments Health Care for all, Education for all, Energy for all...

The top 1 percent aren’t rich enough to handle all the expense unless of course he taxes the 1 percent at 80 percent of earnings and that won’t happen so instead, the big losers will be the middle class.

Increased Taxes, Increased utility and energy costs to the middle class, Subsidies in health Care and education to the poor.

The American Dream will be destroyed.

He is in a hurry because he only has a short time to get it done before the American people wake up and realize he has taken us on a fast track to socialism, and many of the programs can never be reversed.

Plus he has this huge pot of money to play with - like a kid in a candy store.

No president in history has ever had a shattering crisis in which to gain cover, and an endless supply of money to do his nefarious deeds.

The only solution to counter, is to go on a full court press to inform and/or educate the general public. Talk, write, email everyone, especially your Congressmen. Stand tall like a Mississippi pine.

What's so difficult about solving all the world's problems when you're god-on-earth? Hey, if you can make a trillion dollars appear out of thin air (more than once I might add), well....

Typical yuppie. Keep busy doing a thousand things, none of them well. Zero focus. Its all about the show and its easy when no one is measuring the results.

This liar of a bum has never “tackled” anything. He doesn’t work; never has. He just talks and his words have no connection to facts or reality.
