Nationally, the American people are cautiously awaiting President Obama’s Joint Address to Congress on Thursday evening. While the exact measures to be proposed during his “jobs” speech are yet to be seen, it is almost certain that the President will call for substantial spending ‘stimulus’ to spur our economic recovery (sound familiar?). It seems that either way, this will be too little, too late for Mr. Obama, who seems more concerned with his re-election figures than our nation’s economic well-being.
The Republican National Committee released a web video this morning as a preface to tomorrow night’s national address entitled “Sound Familiar?” Says the RNC: Same words, same speeches, same filed policies. It’s time to change direction and defeat Barack Obama in 2012. Watch the video here.
Finally, for your viewing pleasure- POLITICO: The Incredible Shrinking Obama.
“The once-muscular presidency of Barack Obama has undergone a dramatic downsizing – in power, popularity, prestige and ambition – to the point where even Obama die-hards are starting to question his ability to right the economy or win reelection.”
