Obama Hits the Road Next Week to Sell Stimulus Package

“Sounds like the good ol’ days, doesn’t it,” Gibbs quipped of the president who is acting an awful lot like a campaigner these days.
Riding around on airplanes and playing campaign is sooo exhilarating. What’s He campaigning FOR … to STAY uh president?

I guess Obama will just have to accept the fact that he is President, not Emperor.
media induced pres………

Obama says: You *will* be bipartisan and vote for my bill, Repubicans, or I will go after your seats.

Obama is not getting it done in Washington as President so I guess he must go back to his element as a campaigner & speaker. I would tell Mr. President to stay In Washing ton & do the job you were elected to do.

What took Obama so long to revert back to campaign mode and fight back against the Republicans? It’s clear that the public is looking for guidance from the president on the stimulus – and, not getting anything but rhetoric, has decided to buy the GOP rants instead.
Obama’s being swiftboated even after he’s in the White House.

“”I think the president looks forward to getting out of town for a few hours and talk directly with people that are affected,”
WHAT THE HELL
He just started work and he is already going back on the campaign trail.

He is going to have a hard time selling them. The voters don’t like his stimulus package. He has already broken promise and lied to the America people.

He does have a ‘lack’ of leadership.

“By the way, why do all Republicans look like they are constipated??”
Because they have to constantly deal with Infantile Liberal Mindsets.
…Also, since we haven’t heard a Biden Gaff recently has Obama ‘Constipated his Mouth’.

“we haven’t heard a Biden Gaff recently”
Nooo … not since he alluded to the blowing-the-oath business. It’s an ill wind: maybe we’ll never hear from Biden again, except when he’s swearing in the apparatchiks.

OH GREAT IDEA SO NOW WERE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY FOR HES SECURITY.AREN’T WE SUPPOSE TO BE SAVING MONEY NOT WASTING IT?OH SORRY THESE IDIOTS ARE PRETTY GOOD AT IT. MR.PRESIDENT STAY IN WASHINGTON AND DO YOUR JOB.GUESS HE THOUGHT HE WAS JUST GOING TO GLIDE EVERYTHING RIGHT THROUGH.LEARNING ONTHE JOB IS TUFF. I EVEN KNEW HE WAS GOING TO GET SOME TUFF FIGHTS WAKE-UP CALL

One good way to assure a mostly NEW Congress next year might be for INDEPENDENT candidates to campaign on impeaching The Puppet, taxing the rich, disallowing corporate this and that, repealing the Patriot Act, and cancelling the war on t-t-terrorism …

Last I checked Hawaii is a state

“we haven’t heard a Biden Gaff recently”
from your mouth to G-d’s ear!
He had an awesome one at the multimillion dollar invitation-only private resort stimulus meeting.
From Yuval Levin:
“I think my favorite moment in Vice President Biden’s characteristically peculiar performance before the House Democrats’ retreat this morning is when, having traipsed absent-mindedly into a discussion of his concern about the deficit, he seems suddenly to realize that he’s talking to a group that just voted to vastly increase the deficit, and the shifting of gears almost breaks the transmission:
‘ Anybody remember a time when we’re talking about, if we don’t make some real changes, deficits that are a trillion two hundred billion dollars a year for as far as the eye can see, if we don’t, ah, get it right, which you guys have already?’
”
Almost breaks the transmission is right. He backtracks in the same sentence!
He also said this today:
“The president and I were talking about something yesterday in the Oval Office — which, to the press here, I’ll not suggest what it was — but the response was to the folks that were in the office with us — was, you know, if we do everything right, if we do it with absolute certainty, we stand up there and we make really tough decisions, there’s still a 30-percent chance we’re going to get it wrong. “

I think the vast majority of Republicans aren’t against the stimulus package because it might fail. I think they are against it because it might be successful. If it fails they can always point to Democrats as the reason next election and say I told you so. If it is successful then Obama and Democrats are successful they would get credited making it tougher to get elected. Aside from the handful of Republicans trying to things out I think they are simply playing politics. Meanwhile, people continue to suffer. Shameful behaviour. I thought we were done with this when GWB left.

If you are looking to pick a fight, I believe Barry’s Indonesia school records are real.
*****************************************************
Now that’s really suspect. He actually lived out of the country in a Muslim culture and speaks some Indonesian. I’ve spent time, too, in the Muslim and Moorish areas in the South of Spain. I know that makes me suspect for terrorist ties, too, along with my frequent gulps of Kos Koolaid. If you’re going to bring up the Madras schooling, Fox had to retract on that close to a year ago.
MUSLIM, MADRAS SCHOOL, MESSIAH, BIRTH CERTIFICATE, KOOLAID, CHICAGO, OPRAH, ARETHA FRANKLIN’S HAT……..
Someone should turn the mantras into song.

Well what can President Obama expect? He didn’t actually think that the Republicons would want to make any investment in our country, did he?
I think we have learned that Republicans will let their grandmothers starve rather than take any money out of their own pockets. The party of Greed Over People.

“He didn’t actually think that the Republicons would want to make any investment in our country, did he?”
What He PROBABLY thought — because it worked on the corporate media guys when the game was Him versus a female who is also a Clinton — is that Republicans and independent Democrats (in Congress and elsewhere) would continue to be struck dumb by his “it’s in my DNA/so do as I say” play.

You really know your candidate. I am going to bring up his Catholic school records where his religion is marked as “Muslim” and people remember him running off to the call to prayer after school.
Not a big deal except he lies about it and says that he was never a Muslim. It seems probably that he was a practicing Muslim as a child when he was in his step-father’s house.

Excuse me….Your honeymoon is over!

The Obamination is having a chilling effect.

So is that why Kentucky and a sizable portion of the country got hit with snowstorms about 10 days or so ago?

I hope Senator Feinstein holds the line on this foolishness. None of this crap — except for bailing out the states’ payments to the poor — is going to make a bit of difference to most people.
The Puppet talks about “independent economists”. There’s no such THING as an “independent” economist.
He’s all hat, no head. “Modernizing our healthcare”? Millions would settle for seeing a REAL doctor, for something besides being thrown pharmaceuticals.

So waste more tax dollars taking a field trip to “sell” it to us, the tax payers. What a joke.
Does this man not recognize the FACT that most of America doesn’t want this pork bill of fat. So take a trip to try to convince us it is worthy. Keep your snake oil.
Then to top it off, you are going on a date night wasting more money. You can’t find anything to do in that house???? For the love of God, what did we elect a stupid teletubby or something.
How’s that approval rating treating you lately? Any trends???

“BTW- Pelosi is ######.”
Taken the whips out of her briefcase, has she? Nothing a case of pinot won’t cure, one supposes.

“Since there is no actual copy of the bill … ”
Uh … sure, why not? I can’t believe Senator Feinstein is voting for an invisible bazillion-dollar something. In fact, I DON’T believe it, but that’s what the “news” claims.
Sure seems like SOMEbody should make em read all eight hundred pages of it … and maybe send around some security police to make sure everybody WATCHES ‘em read it.
Teevee says there WILL be another Kennedy visitation. Maybe he’ll bring the Lincoln Bible, and sing a little song or something, all of them with laurel wreaths in their hair.

I love how people are like there is no stimulative effect in this bill. How about:
-Highway and mass transit construction (construction workers, engineers, and manufacturers)
-Research money for science and engineering (scientists and engineers)
-Money for “green” jobs (factory workers and engineers)
-Money to digitize patient records (IT, doctors, health care workers, and software engineers)
-Educational money, both in K-12 and pell grants for college (teachers and professors)
-Tax cuts for businesses that create jobs
-Tax cuts for middle income people in the range of $500-1,000
I think some of the people posting here have been listening to too much Limbaugh. He did provide some laughs though when he made that Republican Congressman cry and run like a punk for criticizing him though.

“obama is fit to campaign not to govern!”
Why are these geniuses saying NOTHING about those who are ALREADY poor — including many elderly and disabled who aren’t Kennedys?
The trouble with “stimulating” the system as it stands is — as the bank bailouts demonstrate — rotten to the core … HUD, Social Security. (And “medical records” … an invitation to identity thieves and, for those who still own ANYthing, real-estate hustlers.)
But nooo … go top-down, with a lot of mind-numbing baloney from Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. That’ll be SURE to work, THIS time.
Trouble is, the marginal millions are about to get pushed by NEW poor … and to venture into more survival crimes in an effort NOT to be homeless, starving, and whatnot. (Why are we NOT hearing about the House bill on housing the displaced on military bases? Is THAT the best they can do for “green” public housing? … oh yeah: Katrina … it IS the best they can do: poison peanut butter and poison trailers — for which somebody gets paid puhlenty — for the poor, along with a hefty police-state push against young black men. It’ll be neat.)

“The Republicans don’t want to spend $1 billion for Census which has completed their hiring quota of over 3,000 jobs in only a few weeks in the state of Colorado after it was published everywhere.”
Don’t look now, but the “post-partisan” Puppet is trying to install REPUBLICAN Senator Gregg — a crochety old thingt who once tried to do away with the Commerce Department — as Commerce Secretary. The Department of Commerce controls … the census.

This should be an interesting week or two. He has the votes and, interestingly, the American people lack the support. You have to hand it to him for going out to sell it. Let’s be clear: Obama can both sell and close the deal. It will be interesting to see how he does when he is in front of people who may not be polite about the parameters of this bill. Thew other thing I am starting to notice about this President is that he talks a good game on reaching across the aisle but he seems to be a lot more interested in singing to the choir. That stands to reason – it is a lot easier to talk to guys that already agree with you. Like amy said, “come on down to Texas” we might have a thing or two to ask the President about this Bill (since he is in a chatty mood and all).
