WASHINGTON (CBS DC/AP) — Calling for “all hands on deck” to assist the economy, President Barack Obama is urging his Cabinet to identify ways to keep his administration relevant to people struggling in the up-and-down recovery.

With two weeks left before delivering an economy-focused State of the Union address to Congress, Obama is picking up the pace of his jobs message and demonstrating how he can advance his economic agenda administratively and through his ability to coax action from important interest groups.

“We’re not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that we’re providing Americans the kind of help they need. I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone,” Obama said Tuesday as he convened his first Cabinet meeting of the year.

Nothing Fascist about this!!

Besides, the economy is stagnant because of over bearing, heavy handed Government policies and regulation.

Who actually believes that getting more heavy handed will change anything....Oh that's right..Progressives!!

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

What he needs is a special prosecutor with a perverse interest in his lower intestinal tract.

Fascist SOB.

I thought there was some talk about a march on Washington on or near April 15?

The pen is for overriding the law of the land, the phone is for whomever is giving him instructions about what to do.

what’s the proper term,
Lame duck?

When it becomes apparent that those dems that shoved obammycare up our rears are going to lose their elections badly, obammy will be toast.

"I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone,” Obama said Tuesday

So stick the pen in your nose then call someone who gives a shite what you've got.

Kon-sty-two-shun?

What is Kon-sty-two-shun?

We don’t do Kon-sty-two-shun here. It’s just racist, sexist and homophobic.

Now go pay your taxes. Your government is broke. :)

What he left out of the quote was: I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone and I’m not afraid to use them!

what’s the proper term, Lame duck?

This duck has no feet.

[peeps36]

When you're an arrogant jackass you can't see what an idiot you really are. This clown could never admit that he is the reason the economy is so bad. He thinks he is great because nobody around him has the guts to tell him the truth. The more he does the worse it will get.

[TigersEye]

He’s starting to focus. He’s like a laser.

[alloysteel]

Stick the pen in your ear, and scrawl across that scrap of paper in front of you with the earpiece end of the handset.

[DeaconRed]

Take His Pen.
Take his Phone.
Take HIM.

I love it when little men act tough.

Isn’t this the guy who has never had a cabinet meeting?
