The Presidential Planner
EmailFrom Sunlen Miller
President Obama wakes up this morning in Las Vegas after his day yesterday spent in Kansas City and then campaigning last night for Nevada Sen. Harry Reid.
In the late morning, the president will deliver remarks on the economy at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
As he did yesterday during a speech at an electric truck manufacturing plant in Kansas City, Mr. Obama will discuss how new private sector investments in the clean energy industry generate jobs and promote economic growth.
Today, the president will focus on solar power and is expected to call on Congress to act on a $5 billion expansion of the Advanced Energy Manufacturing Tax Credit.
"When we announced the program last year, it was such a success that we had nearly four times as many worthy requests as we had tax credits," a White House official said. "Providing an additional $5 billion in Manufacturing Tax Credits will not only help leverage an additional $12 billion in private capital investment in ready projects, but also create tens of thousands of additional clean energy manufacturing jobs across the country."
After his speech, Mr. Obama will return to Washington, DC, in the evening.

OBAMA AND THE LIBERALS IN CONGRESS BASED THE ENTIRE 2008 CAMPAIGN ON LIES. THEY WILL DO ANYTHING TO STAY IN POWER. OBAMA IS THE FIRST PRESIDENT TO WEAKEN THE USA.
OUR PRESIDENT-IN-TRAINING HASN’T HANDLED ANYTHING SINCE HE TOOK OFFICE. HE SHOULD HAVE GONE TO HOLLYWOOD —- NOT OUR WHITE HOUSE. AMONG OTHER THINGS, HE PROMISED TO CREATE JOBS. INSTEAD, HE CRAMMED OBAMACARE DOWN OUR THROATS.
BUILD THE FENCE AND SECURE OUR BORDERS!!!
ILLEGAL MEANS UNLAWFUL!!! Why won’t the Obama administration protect AMERICAN CITIZENS AND OUR BORDERS??? The Obama administration doesn’t recognize them as illegal immigrants,THEY THINK OF THEM AS “UNREGISTERED DEMOCRATS”!!! The Democrats have stooped to new lows for pandering to the Hispanic voting bloc.
The American people will make them pay in November.

Republicans base their entire strategy for the November campaign on misinformation, misleading information, and lies lies lies.

The GOP never really changes their strategy.. this election was the Dem’s to win.. they blew it and only have themselves to blame.

No matter what, Republicans with their “HELL NO” votes on the Financial Reform legislation has made it safe for Banks to begin back those bad Prime Adjustable Rate Loans that destroyed our economy.
And bringing it back with a vengeance is what the Banks are doing right now because with Obama’s Financial Reform Legislation voted down by the Republicans, there is nothing in place at all to stop them.

You mean the Republicans stole the Democrat’s campaign strategy book?

In the late morning, the president will deliver remarks on the economy at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
And while he’s talking about the economy, will he also try to do a balancing act about unemployment benefits? After all, the Democrats say that the Republicans are trying to “hurt” those out of work by not extending benefits. HOWEVER, published reports today say that the government paid out 7 BILLION in OVERPAYMENTS of unemployment benefits. Looks like Mr. Obama is in a pickle, huh?

Maybe Pres Barry can talk about NASA and if they will be hiring or firing in 2010/2011?
You would think that if you are NASA, your mandate is return us to the moon, take us to Mars…. No, according to the President of the United States, the mandate of NASA is to “make Muslim people feel better about themselves.”

The only time I can tolerate listening to Obama is at a fundraiser. Chances are good he will be very cocky and full of himself. Then he tries to be funny and ends up stuttering and makes a fool of himself, with childish lame jokes.
Never seen a world leader with so little dignity–even the silly way he jogs down the steps of AF-One, like he’s riding a horse.
There’s nothing distiguished or presidential about Obama.
Is any other world leader that immature?
Maybe Chavez.

Obama is so boring now these fundraising events are having to slash prices to get people to come listen to him.
My how quickly things change.
Maybe it’s the hundreds of speeches, the thousands of magazine covers, and the media’s slobbering love affair.

Look,even a Democrat like Oscar doesn’t want to see him.Vegas is hurting and Obama is a major cause.Reid could be running against A Golden Retriever and he would still lose.

Oil Spill?
What oil spill?
Seems that Obama and his cheerleaders in the MSM have put the oil spill and the Afghanistan war on the back shelf again, where they like to keep things that might hurt their agenda.

Get some new material Obama.
The Barton comment was 2-3 weeks ago.
And the ant joke is getting lame too.
When your biggest weapon is to exploit silly remarks from your opponent you are in deep trouble.
Truth is Obama has so little to really brag about.
Obama will still be making the same jokes until November.
Can’t a speechwriter that makes almost $180K come up with something better.

Time to take away what Obama loves most.
Funding.
Money is power.
We need to make him a lame duck in November.
Without bribe money, without payoffs to special interests Obama has nothing.
The beginning of the end of Obama.

Where are the questions about the New Black Panther party and the DOJ? Seems Obama 08 hosted a page for them on the campaign website, as I recall.
When people are talking about the corruption of this administration, never forget that the press created the candidate they wanted us to see and hid everything they thought we wouldn’t like. As you can see they are still doing it, by their lack of curiosity about the DOJ or the Sestak business.

Tommy, not to mention the same Obama defenders as well. Yes, there are certain folks who will post regularly and predictably. That’s one reason I visit the site more rarely and post less frequently myself. But it is patently unfair to suggest that there is an antiObama contingent here without acknowledging those on the other side of the divide as well.

Angie, I’d love to see some examples of the misinformation and lies you claim are the basis of Republican strategy in November. I don’t see an emphasis on fiscal responsibility, reduced government spending, and opposition to the expansion of the federal government as based on lies, myself.

“Anybody else notice its the same handful of Obama haters posting in here every day.” – Tommy
Nope, but I do see a lot of regulars and more new posters who are taking Obama to the mat for his socialist/progressive policies.

Well said moderate.
