Obama to hit campaign trail after island vacation: Aims to reassure voters on US economy

For 10 days, even as dire housing and economic reports continued, President Obama kept to a disciplined vacation schedule, allowing only the occasional glimpse of him on Martha’s Vineyard as he golfed, dined, and relaxed.

But now, Democratic Party officials said, a recharged president will hit the midterm election hustings with a message tuned to echo his 2008 campaign theme of “Hope’’ and seek to persuade skeptical Americans that his long-promised economic recovery is real.

“He is still a very strong energizer of the Democratic vote,’’ said Tim Kaine, chairman of the Democratic National Committee. “He’s going to be hustling on the road until the November election and he’ll be relishing the opportunity.’’

It will be one of Obama’s greatest challenges. Despite spending billions of dollars on stimulus programs, unemployment remains stubbornly high at 9.5 percent, housing is in a deep slump, and the Tea Party is ascendant in some key states. Many analysts are predicting that Democrats will lose a number of seats in the House and Senate and possibly control of Congress.

Indeed, Republicans are welcoming Obama back to the campaign trail. “He makes our argument for us,’’ said Doug Heye, a spokesman for the Republican National Committee.

I hope he travels to all 57 states...

Obama to hit campaign trail after island vacation: Aims to reassure voters on US economy

I'm looking forward to when DU starts posting things like, "Is Obama a Republican plant?"

[Berlin_Freeper]

>>Aims to reassure voters on US economy

Obama is going to resign.

[HerrBlucher]

He is going to repeat Hoover’s “prosperity is just around the corner” line, guaranteed. LOL!

[2ndDivisionVet]

I don’t go over there very often, but I’ll bet it’s already happening.

[Darkwolf377]

I haven’t been there in forever. It’s like stepping into a cellar full of snakes.

[gov_bean_ counter]

It’s like stepping into a cellar full of snakes.

I heard its more like swimming in a septic tank...

[rbosque]

He can denounce Mao, Keynes, Stalin, resign and move back to Kenya.

[Rome2000]

Things will be just fine as soon as the marxists that took control of Congress in 2006 are voted out in November.

[J Edgar]

May I pose a silly question?

How much time, percentage wise, has The Usurper actually devoted to being President?

I recognize that having 44 Czars working in the White Hut lightens the burden somewhat, but still decisions have to be made after some consideration, right?
Don’t decisions have to be considered?
Well Ok, if you don’t need to read legislation before voting, I guess you don’t need to make a consideration before making a decision.

I get it now - Government by CommieAuto Pilot.

White Hut “work style” is vacation, campaign, rest, vacation, campaign, rest ...

*Obama to hit campaign trail after island vacation: Aims to reassure voters on US economy*

Yeah, well, good luck with that.

[RowdyFFC]

Well, no, he’s not going to be the energizer bunny for the votes because people are just flat out tired of his lies and his insane policies. Unfortunately for him there is this old saw that says:

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!

[Mr. Wright]

“He’s going to be hustling on the road until the November election and he’ll be relishing the opportunity.’’

Spewing more of his B.S. for his sheep to swallow.

[bertrand]

Make no mistake, after Beck’s rally numbers they will come out meaner and nastier than ever! Gird thy loins and prepare thyself!

[blackbart.223]

"How much time, percentage wise, has The Usurper actually devoted to being President?"

The less time he does the better off we are.

[J Edgar]

I can find no argument with which to dispute you pithy insight sir!

[norge]

Aw shoot. You beat me to it.

[pallis]

It’s still a long time until November, enough time for what, ...three more, four more vacations?

[blackbart.223]

"I can find no argument with which to dispute you pithy insight sir!"

Sir doesn't work for me. Bill is good enough.

[I still care]

“He’s going to be hustling on the road until the November election and he’ll be relishing the opportunity.”

Because that’s all he knows how to do. Posture in front of the cameras, read the prompter, golf and eat and enjoy concerts. And campaign.

This sounds like an excuse to get out of the WH, while Iran is loading their reactors with nuclear fuel and the economy is tanking, Barry will be eating pizza in front of gushing reporters, and loving it.

[fatnotlazy]

Well, he is a community organizer — which means he gets other people to do everything for him.

[J Edgar]

Ok Bill, thanks for the post. I enjoyed and learned.

[Cowboy Bob]

“He’s going to be hustling on the road until the November election and he’ll be relishing the opportunity."

And the American people need to ask: "Where's the Beef?"

[dixiechick2000]

That’s perfect!

[blackbart.223]

"Ok Bill, thanks for the post. I enjoyed and learned."

Take care and stay safe.

[teletech]

Now I ask you, if you were a DemocRAT would you want Obama campaigning for you? I think it’s great that Obama will be out there helping to elect more Conservatives in November.

[blackbart.223]

"And the American people need to ask: "Where's the Beef?"

No need to ask. We are it.

[Fresh Wind]

Sheik Obama is going back to doing the work of the American People...

Campaigning, raising money, and blaming others for his own failures.

I can’t wait.

[blackbart.223]

"Campaigning, raising money, and blaming others for his own failures."

That is worthless piece of crap politicans do.

[DCBurgess58]

Very funny!!!

[21twelve]

“And the American people need to ask: “Where’s the Beef?”

The reply: “Oh, ya’ll mean that Kobe Japanese stuff at $200 a pound?”

[DCBurgess58]

I guess if Obama starts telling us there's nothing fundimentally wrong with the economy, we can give him a new name.

BAGHDAD OB

[blackbart.223]

Let me restate this. That is what useless political crap sacks do. I hope my spelling improved.

[sonic109]

BINGO

[Catsrus]

And, he’ll promise us a lobster in every pot.

[bmwcyle]

He is afraid to spend time in Washington DC. What is that fear all about?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Nuclear attack by terrorists? The pitchfork, tar & feather and torches that might be coming? Bored by real work, since he’s never done any? Hard to tell...

[REPANDPROUDOFIT]

He could have earned some badly needed popularity points by announcing that he was actually going to stay in Washington for a month to catch up on some work! What other President would have needed to make such a statement regarding his intent to stay at home and do what he was supposed to do?

I know - do we really want him to stay home and get things done?!

[Vaduz]

Indeed, Republicans are welcoming Obama back to the campaign trail. “He makes our argument for us”.

[Liz]

The buzz is Dems are so desperate, they actually think Michele Obama is their ticket to victory.

Dems oughta urge her to prepare a fund-raising speech about her wonderful trip to Spain (/snix).

[Liz]

Obama to hit campaign trail after island vacation: Aims to reassure voters on US economy.....

But first he has to redo his political resume.

[Jimmy Valentine]

"I'm looking forward to when DU starts posting things like, "Is Obama a Republican plant?"

They are getting very close. I don't think they feel the love any more.

[diverteach]

“...a disciplined vacation schedule”

Doesn’t sound like a vacation to me.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Waist deep in the Big Muddy.
and the Big Fool says “push on.”

[diverteach]

“...a disciplined vacation schedule”

Doesn’t sound like a vacation to me.

[TheTopRead]

I think we’ve been hustled quite enough already. We can’t take too much more of Barry’s con jobs.

[COBOL2Java]

Nuclear attack by terrorists? The pitchfork, tar & feather and torches that might be coming? Bored by real work, since he’s never done any?"

I'll take door #3, Monty.

[norwaypinesavage]

"President Obama kept to a disciplined vacation schedule, allowing only the occasional glimpse of him on Martha’s Vineyard as he golfed, dined, and relaxed."

Poor Baby! Has to have DISCIPLINED golfing, dining, and relaxing. Now he has to interrupt this discipline, in order to campaign. What's missing here?
