Gibbs is the most likely to go.
But I hope it’s Holder.
But it won’t be.
Right. These are posts from his FB page. It’s the real one - I’ve been on it for months.
Dude,i have no idea what an FB page is.
Nope- the Duchy of Grand Fenwick.
I have no idea, but my guess would be Rahm. He screwed up Health Care so badly that even the lefties want his scalp.
Holder for the major screw-up on Christmas with the Fruit-of-Kaboom bomber?
Gibbs because he is ridiculous?
Rahm because he wants to go back to *real* Chicago politics?
They finally found the dried up bones of bin Laden in some cave—to which Obama will claim that “as I promised, we GOT him!”? (It makes me nauseous just thinking about the grandstanding he would do.)
He’s quitting because um, ah, errr, ummmm, uh, uh, uh it’s too haaaarrrrrd.”?
He’s converted to Islam because those Christians are so “nasty”?
He’s found his inner woman and wants to be the first female half-black president?
OK, I’m having too much fun. Time to make dinner. LOL.
If not Geithner,its nobody. He was doomed from the moment Zero said “i have to have him(even if he is a tax cheat)”
Thank you for the corroboration. I get his tweets to but didn’t check.
Anyone smarter then me understand what 9 pm could signal? And why hush hush?
I’ve read a lot of speculation - most of it mirrored here.
One guess was SCOTUS retirement. My money is on Gibbs, then Rahm, the Timmy G.
Michelle's PREGNANT AGAIN!
I have a long Hope & Change wish list. I’m sure what will be revealed at 9 O’clock is not on my list.
“It’s just a child-care tax credit. Big whoop.”
It works if you aren’t unemployed! Just ask that 17% of Americans un, under, and part-time.
But, what do you expect from this completely out-of-touch and tone-deaf Administration?
Now THAT would be interesting.
maybe MO got a new belt.
Sorry - Facebook.
Also - see post 35.
EMBARGOED FOR 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, Monday, 1-25-10 Obama Turns Focus to Middle Class, Addressing Voter Anger
By Christi Parsons and Peter Nicholas, Reporting from Washington
January 25, 2010
President Obama, moving to refocus his agenda on Americans' anger over the tattered shape of their pocketbooks, is preparing new initiatives for federal belt-tightening and aid to middle class families on problems ranging from childcare and student loans and to retirement savings and assistance with aging relatives.
The new priorities are expected to dominate Obama's State of the Union address Wednesday, but the first concrete demonstration of the change came Monday at a White House meeting where the President and Vice President Joe Biden announced a set of proposed tax changes and other steps that were aimed at middle-class Americans.
"None of these steps alone will solve all the challenges facing the middle class," Obama said. "But hopefully some of these steps will reestablish some of the security that's slipped away in recent years. Because in the end, that's how Joe and I measure progress -- not by how the markets are doing, but by how the American people are doing. It's about whether they see some progress in their own lives."
Obama promised to "keep fighting to rebuild our economy so that hard work is once again rewarded, wages and incomes are once again rising, and the middle class is once again growing.''
On the soaring federal deficit, which polls show is a major factor in voters' discontent, Obama will announce on Wednesday that the budget blueprint he files next week will contain a "hard freeze" on discretionary spending that lasts through 2013, an effort his advisors liken to the fiscal discipline average families impose on themselves every day.
The State of the Union, delivered to a joint session of Congress and the nation at large, will also define the key foreign policy goals of Obama's second year in office, aides said, and offer new proposals to improve transparency in government.

More at the source link. But in highlighting a package of proposed tax credits, investment regulations and employer requirements, Obama will begin rolling out his strategy for trying to blunt a threatened Republican resurgence in next November's congressional elections – a strategy centered on the economic plight of average families. "That sense of angst," said Obama Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer, "is what drove him to seek office. It is something we have focused on in his year in the White House . . . and a big part of what we will do in 2010 and the rest of the presidency." How successful Obama is with the middle class tax benefits laid out Monday and the more extensive proposals planned for the State of the Union, may go a long way toward determining the shape and scope of the remainder of his presidency. With his job approval ratings in decline and political horizon darkening in recent days, Obama is fighting to keep his Democratic majorities in Congress through the fall elections. That means persuading disillusioned voters to reinvest in him and his party for another two years.
new veggies in the garden?
I agree, Gibbs is the best part. They either need to keep Gibbs until the bitter end or replace him with Baghdad Bob.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh thank you
The bank plan is being rolled out with a holiday. A banking holiday?
