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.

This is one of his infamous pivots. Probably to honor Trayvon, Midnight Butler School for Wayward Inner City Youth(MBSWICY), pronounced “Mibswicky”.

Oh Thank God. Must have taken him 5 years to think of something but I’m glad he did.

No substance, just rail against the machine. Pit one group of people against another. Push socialism.

And yet with all Zero’s BS, if he ran again for the high office he likely would be elected. Sooner or later the lid is going to blow and then look out and be ready.

Something is *wrong* with this reporting!

We all know that 2009 was "The Summer of Recovery" thanks to Kid Kenya and Plugs with the US economy ripping up ever since, so what is happening here?!

Mendacity on steroids!

“Obama to lay out agenda for economic recovery”

Let me guess. Raise taxes, raise the debt ceiling, and spend more money. More “investments” in green energy. Etc. Right?

“He was focused on the economy and jobs from day 1.”

Focused like a laser, dude. Focused like a laser.

My plan is one of growth - growth for Food Stamps, Social Security Disability for scammers, and growth for Billions in payments to the Muslim Brotherhood. In order to ensure that growth, we must cut elsewhere. Therefore, on top of the hundreds of Billion in dollars of Defense cuts I have enacted, I am going to enact A Trillion dollars of more cuts. We can zero out our military because there will never be another war, and people who work for our nation should be punished, not rewarded.
