With his job approval rating at a low ebb and his policy agenda stymied in Congress, President Barack Obama is trying again to show a common touch and convince more Americans that he is still fighting for their interests.
The latest move in Obama's empathy campaign will come Thursday when he plans to meet with a mother identified by White House officials as "Rebekah" of Minneapolis. She wrote to the president to explain her day-to-day economic problems; he read the letter and decided to reach out to everyday people like her around the country.

Rebekah probably works for a union leader or is related to the local Democrat ward chairman.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Regardless of what it wants, unless the regular folk are on welfare and/or black, the chances are really good that only union members will meet with him.

All this campaigning is being funded by us the taxpayers, to wooo the riders in the wagon to get out and vote for their favorite RAT Santa Clause.
And which party can go up against that?
Washington is way beyond repair.

Is he going to Lake Wobegon?

So His Lowness is visiting the “Folks” again. I suppose he’ll tell her to put air in her tires, go to school to become an ATM, and grow some arugula for spare change.

Everything old is new again. I remember a picture of Jimmy Carter meeting with a “regular family” in their home when his popularity was tanking and the world was going to Hell.

Oh, but he is having a town hall meeting to interact with the “folks”. However, it is invitation only so you have to bring kneepads and a pre-approved question.

Everyone should carry and extra pair of shoes just so you can throw them at this POTUS
