The Presidential Planner
EmailABC News’ Sunlen Miller reports:
President Obama will deliver a statement to the press on the monthly job numbers from the Rose Garden this morning.
“I think the President continues to ask the economic team for what ideas they believe can help the economy now," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Thursday. “Obviously there is no doubt, as I said earlier, that the economic growth trajectory is not what it was in the spring."
In the afternoon, the President will travel to Camp David where he will spend the Labor Day weekend, in advance of traveling to Minneapolis on Monday.

Insanity – Do the same thing over and over again and getting the same unsatisfactory results while expecting a different outcome.
NoBo should “change” his name again.
Barack Insane Obama

“Good morning ladies and gentlemen.I have decided to hide all future economic data.This policy has worked well for me in the past;it is now your duty to push the line that I am a brilliant economist.I have also directed a Predator strike on Dr. Romer to stop the illegal leaks from her about our economic policies.”

So Barry is going to keep asking that question until the economy improves? And if he is, will that be his best plan so far?

.
Something is wrong here… we were told oBama was a walking, talking, genius with all the answers for the things that were ailing this country. And he is having to asking his economic team for ideas? Ptoooey! Now we see the difficult job that Gibbs and the press corpse have in continuing to cover for unprecedented incompetence.

Via a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll, “more than a third of those surveyed said George W. Bush deserved a great deal of the blame for economic woes and a third said he should get a moderate amount of it.” In regards to the President, “51% say he’s dealing with problems he inherited, not created, saying he deserves not much or none of the responsibility for economic problems that include high unemployment and a faltering housing market.”
Meanwhile, Paul Ryan contradicts himself in an awkward CNBC interview but acknowledges that at least he’s not one of the nutty Republicans who believe tax cuts magically pay for themselves.

MSNBC: “PHOENIX – Arizona voters won’t be seeing any more debates between the top gubernatorial contenders.
Incumbent Republican Jan Brewer said Thursday she has no intention of participating in any more events with Democrat Terry Goddard. She said the only reason she debated him on Wednesday is she had to to qualify for more than $1.7 million in public funds for her campaign.
“I certainly will take my message in a different venue out to the people of Arizona,” she said.”
Because doing something live, without being able to edit out the stupid, would be too damaging.
The pride of the right wing!

Thank goodness that’s cleared up then.
Obama can’t help get the economy going whether he started it or not.
I’m glad you found this enlightening survey true blue and let us know that. The people aren’t giving NoBo much credit though, I bet he could at least do a little better if he was responsible for the economic problems. But hey, maybe he knows that. That’s why he’s making some of his own Economic Problems so that he can then fix them. Explains a lot of the last year and a half.

You might want to pay a bit of attention to the world-wide economic recession that came out of the sloppy, over reaching and greedy banking practises. The Bush “economy” was run on debt, and it collapsed.
And the world-wide recession still on, big time, all around the world.
The focus you present is myoptic and small minded.

Dear Steve, you give Bushie way too much credit.
He wasn’t competent enough to have as big an impact as you suggest.
He had help. The Demos did more than their share to help bring about the economic collapse. European Socialist Nations contributed also.
I may be small minded but I see a picture larger than you do.

Competent enough, no. Incompetent enough, and led around by the nose by ideological zealots, yes.
