President Obama will formally inaugurate Organizing for Action, his newly-formed independent advocacy group, with a headline speech Wednesday night before the group's Founders' Summit in Washington.
Obama's appearance, confirmed to ABC News by an OFA official, will be his first in-person with the group's core team of advisers, donors and grassroots organizers since its formation following the 2012 election.
It comes as Obama seeks to re-energize his expansive grassroots campaign infrastructure around top second-term priorities - from new gun-control measures to comprehensive immigration reform and a plan to replace sequester - and cement the foundation for his presidential legacy.
The summit will stretch over two days at Washington's St. Regis Hotel, including a series of meetings, discussions and brainstorming sessions aimed at shaping the group's advocacy agenda and grassroots mobilization strategy, the official said. It will also engage key Democratic donors who have pledged to underwrite the group.

Also attending the gathering are former Obama campaign manager Jim Messina; senior adviser David Plouffe; OFA executive director Jon Carson; outgoing EPA administrator Lisa Jackson; and other prominent organizers, according to the OFA official.

Important stuff like that.
Onto Mt. Rushmore...hopefully at 650MPH.
Will Leni Rifenstahl be streaming it on the web?
He’ll probably deliver a stern lecture about how they’d better never let Rand Paul blow him up on Twitter again.
Formerly “Organizing For America”, but they’ve dropped the pretense of being “For America.”
Time to start handing out some of those 1.6 billion rounds of ammo?
He should a have a bronze statue of himself kneeling in front of Lincoln at that chair in the Stincoln memorial with his little pinhead in Lincoln's lap , bronze plaque with the caption "Rebellion is dead, long live the Union"
You just gave me a chilling thought.
Being the first black President, someday they will inevitably build a monument to this clown.
I shudder to think what that will look like. Will make the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials look like some sort of roadside picnic shelter by comparison, methinks.
Nope, just a roadside rest stop with a giant piece of slate
shaped like a teleprompter.

Grass roots mobilization, I guess that’s what they
are calling astroturf nowadays. More top down grass
roots...
Commie piggies ganging up on Americans.
OFA came up fast...

I believe Bill Clinton used the "top down" approach too:
"When I was a younger man and had a life," stated Clinton, "I owned an El Camino pickup in the '70s. It was a real sort of Southern deal. I had Astroturf in the back. You don't want to know why, but I did."
O does it by the bus load.

“.....funded by mega-donors like George Soros and corporations such as Lockheed Martin, Citi and **Duke Energy** quietly seeking “support from the same rich donors who backed Obama’s campaigns.....”

Mr. Murrey told The Washington Times only that the line of credit was with two banks — Bank of America and Mechanics & Farmers Bank, which is headquartered in Charlotte. Duke Energy had guaranteed the line of credit.
Bank of America (formerly Nationsbank) has been in bed with the Leftists at least as far back as the Clinton era. Then there was the merger mess between Duke and Progress Energy. CEO double-crosses, Federal regulators and such.....

I knew BOA were screamin’ Leftists, I was unaware of DE until just recently. Late to the party.
Gotta go find my cable cutters.
