Obama Going Personal in Bid to Sell Economic Plan, Lift Political Spirits Toward Party (Poor Obama)

President Obama, once again hard on the campaign stump trying to sell his economic agenda, plans to return to the kind of intimate and inspiring vibe that carried first his autobiography, then his breakout 2004 DNC speech and ultimately his juggernaut presidential campaign.

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said that when Obama takes the stage in Cleveland Wednesday to discuss his latest economic proposals, his personal story will start to make its way back into the rhetoric.

Obama's personal story has a proven track record of resonating, at the polls and in book sales. His book, "Dreams From My Father," told the story of his unique upbringing, opening with Obama as a young man receiving the news from Africa about his father's death and taking the reader through his childhood in Indonesia and Hawaii. The book traces his eventual journey to Kenya to meet his extended family from his father's side.

Various news stories keep making reference to his "working-class background."

His biological mother was a lifelong academic.

His putative biological father was an academic and a highly-placed government minister.

The grandfather who raised him was a corporate executive. The grandmother who raised him was a bank vice president.

His Indonesian stepfather was an oil company executive.

Excellent! At a time when public doubt about Obama’s religion and place of birth are at their highest ever, Obama starts down a path to remind voters of how much of his past life he has kept carefully hidden. Hopefully this time the MSM might find the cojones to ask him point blank why he won’t just release his long form BC. I’d love to see his hemming and hawing about that.

He loves the camera & the attention.

Besides—would you want to stay at home & look at Michelle every day over dinner?

The next book about NObama should be titled:

“YOU LIE”

zer0 seems to be running against John Boehner. That is dumb. Nobody except beltway types and FReepers even know who he is. And he certainly doesn’t represent the true Conservatives who are starting to rise up everywhere across the country.

zer0 is losing it.
