President Obama is moving swiftly to try to recover from his worst week in the White House, speeding up his schedule for engaging in the 2010 political races and planning to use his State of the Union address on Wednesday to show the public a feisty side, White House senior adviser David Axelrod said in a telephone interview with POLITICO.
He vowed, however, that there will be no reinventing of the president, even though Washington loves a shakeup or human sacrifice.
Stunned by the rejection of the Democrat in the Massachusetts Senate race last week, Obama asked David Plouffe, his 2008 campaign manager, to increase his work as an outside White House adviser.
Everybody would acknowledge that we kind of took Massachusetts for granted and we shouldnt have, Axelrod said. It just reminded us that weve got to be at the top of our game.
Plouffes mission is to bring the winning formula he brought to the 2008 campaign to this falls Democratic campaigns, at a time when economic and historical headwinds threaten the party with a rout.
The same forces that we saw at play in Massachusetts were the ones that propelled [Obama] to office, Axelrod said. Theres no reinventing any message here. Its a reaffirmation of a message. And that is our goal to advocate fiercely for the middle class and for people all across this country whove been struggling in this economy and long before the recession.
Obama road-tested his new message during a town hall Friday in Ohio, when he said 20 times that he will fight for average Americans.

He learned absolutely nothing from Scott Brown.
The most arrogant incompetent ever to hold the Presidency, Obama is totally unable the govern. His one and only skill is to lie his way into office without the slightest capacity for executive behavior: a spoiled, whining, lying, glib sociopath. All Bait and Switch for his radical agenda.
LOL

You cover all the bases quite well.
Hey, Axelgrease, your child radical effeminate boss feeling feisty? Send Barney over for a beer.
When I hear “feisty,” I think of a demented liitle chihuahua or some other over-bred, spoiled toy dog having a hissy fit.
Which of course perfectly describes Obama.
POTUS on the ground
POTUS on the ground
Lookin’ like a fool this
POTUS on the ground
In “Rules for Radicals” by Alinsky, he says that when things go wrong, attack. Remember also, Hillary was a disciple of Alinsky.
So his plan is to talk more? Yeah, that’ll work!!! Get out there and campaign for struggling Democrat legislators, Zero, please!
The "Chicago Way" of politics coming to a congressional district near you...
Obama took WE, THE PEOPLE for granted.
Obama's a jerk.
