Obama to lay out agenda for economic recovery

WASHINGTON — With major battles looming in the fall over the federal budget and the debt ceiling, President Barack Obama is trying to regain the initiative, embarking on a campaign-style tour of the Midwest this week to lay out his agenda for reinvigorating the nation’s economy, administration officials said Sunday.

Obama’s offensive will begin Wednesday in Galesburg, Ill., with what his aides are saying will be a major address on economic policy at Knox College. Officials declined to provide details of the president’s message, but said he would set his terms for what they expect will be another bruising battle with a Republican-controlled House over the nation’s fiscal policies.

White House officials liken Wednesday’s speech to one he gave in 2011 in Osawatomie, Kan., where he articulated the theme of economic inequality in American society that became a leitmotif of his re-election campaign; and one at Georgetown University soon after taking office in 2009, when he talked about how the American economy would recover from the Great Recession.

He has had years to lay out his plan, what could possibly be new.

He’s been laying out the agenda for 5 years now. What’s new this time?

yeah I thought he campaigned on that.
No need to read the agenda. I’m sure it includes increase taxes, and a bunch of green energy supposed jobs, more IRS audits, fees on conceal carry permits.

Relax, he can work on the economy during his third or fourth term - after he visits all 57 states.

The new plan is to take the attention off the IRS corruption, the NSA scandal, Benghazi, etc.

I see he's choosing these small venues since he can no longer draw a crowd. The school only has about 1400 students. I'd be surprised if 10% showed up.

Interestingly, the school motto is Veritas. Won't be much of that in the speech.

Think Teresa Guariladucci ( spelled correct ) and her Super IRA run by the Guberment after it has come to light the Detroit City Pensioner's will get a nasty hair cut. Just Like GM kept their Pension. This is something he can roll out to all the failed Democrap run cities like Chicago who just got their Muni Bond Rating wacked...

Yes more wealth redistribution, they will come for your 401k, IRA's etc next.

No doubt Mike Landler is a True Believer. I wonder if he got a reacharound?
