Obama to lay out agenda for economic recovery

WASHINGTON — With major battles looming in the fall over the federal budget and the debt ceiling, President Barack Obama is trying to regain the initiative, embarking on a campaign-style tour of the Midwest this week to lay out his agenda for reinvigorating the nation’s economy, administration officials said Sunday.

Obama’s offensive will begin Wednesday in Galesburg, Ill., with what his aides are saying will be a major address on economic policy at Knox College. Officials declined to provide details of the president’s message, but said he would set his terms for what they expect will be another bruising battle with a Republican-controlled House over the nation’s fiscal policies.

White House officials liken Wednesday’s speech to one he gave in 2011 in Osawatomie, Kan., where he articulated the theme of economic inequality in American society that became a leitmotif of his re-election campaign; and one at Georgetown University soon after taking office in 2009, when he talked about how the American economy would recover from the Great Recession.

THE NEW, IMPROVED OBAMA PLAN:

Increase printing of fiat currency from $85 billion per month to $185 billion per month.

Give the new money to cronies to do more “shovel ready” jobs.

Exactly. Communism is totalitarian. The new 5 year plan gives the religious proles hope for the future, to push on so Obama may continue to lead us into a glorious future of Himself for All.

I don’t know about that. It’s time for my mid-year rebalancing. Looks like it might be a good week to swap out some bond funds for more Total Stock Market....

So, this is the Summer of Recovery. Was wondering when it would finally show up.

Ironic that he would be talking about economic recovery when everyone else in government is talking about how wonderful the economy is doing.

How much BS can one man throw?

Galesburg, Illinois?

First thing he should state in his address to the young skulls full of mush is that Illinois voters should throw out the corrupt Dem politicians in both the corrupt Illinois state (insolvent) government and corrupt Chicago (insolvent) government.

That would really give a rousing start to his speech.

But it won't happen, of course. It'll be just more statist, socialist spiel delivered, appropriately enough, in corn country.

Obama can only give speeches before college audiences, union audiences, federal government employee audiences, welfare audiences and kindergarten audiences....any other audiences he will be booed off the stage.

Knox College

1400 students

Middle of the summer

So, he is going to talk to a bunch of summer school students.

If I had a dumbass for a President it would look like Idi Obama.

Is Obama's "Summer of Recovery" anything like his "Arab Spring"?

I guess he's saving "After the Fall" for later.
