Translation of Headline:

Obama: “I have absolutely no clue as to how to lower the unemployment rate or get the economy moving again”.

to try and lower the stakes for Thursday’s Joint Session appearance

Cripes! It's a joint session of Congress addressed by the President of the United States. Why in the world would he be doing it unless it were tremendously important? Supposedly, there is no higher drama.

well, that is funny, because on Kelly’s show on Fox, they said they are going to lay out an entire jobs plan but not the entire economic plan.

I was kind of wondering how that is possible unless you were just going to have the feds hire everyone.

White House aides are reportedly already trying to downplay the significance of what the president will be talking about Thursday night.

I predict that after demanding the attendance of both houses of Congress in a special session, Zero will read Packers - Saints football score updates off the telemprompter to the assembled officials. Then he will ruminate on the plight of the black athlete in professional sports. After the speech, the MSM will laud the president's profound racial insights, and agree that Republicans are a bunch of racists.

There was this quote from an unnamed "White House aid" in MoDo's column today.
From Maureene Dowd's column, “One and Done:”
“The issue isn’t the size or the newness of the ideas,” one said. “It’s less the substance than how he says it, whether he seizes the moment.”
MoDo seems to be despondent in her column today. She may be suffering from a bad case of Hopeium withdrawal.

Oh come on people.

He’s getting ready to get ready to prepare a possible proposal in which he will propose how to get ready to get ready.

“Aides say Thursday’s speech will be part of a bigger plan the White House will roll out throughout the fall with the president hitting the road for speeches and town hall appearances.”

So it IS a campaign speech.

So basically Barry is wasting the time of the Joint houses of Congress and the American public.

In other words he doesn’t have a plan but will make it up as he goes.

The downplay is directly related to the Solyndra debacle and no longer being able to push the legitimacy of 'green jobs'.

The fact that they're now framing this as part of a larger 'role out' is simply to get his future campaigning stops paid for by taxpayers.
