"White House contemplates fighting stance on economy; Differences with GOP would be underscored" August 14, 2011|By Binyamin Appelbaum and Helene Cooper, New York Times
WASHINGTON - As the economy worsens, President Obama and his senior aides are considering whether to adopt a more combative approach on economic issues, seeking to highlight substantive differences with Republicans in Congress and on the campaign trail rather than continuing to pursue elusive compromises, advisers to the president say.
You think we are buying this crap after three years of betrayal?
Obama’s senior adviser, David Plouffe, and his chief of staff, William M. Daley, want him to maintain a pragmatic strategy of appealing to independent voters by advocating ideas that can pass Congress, even if they may not have much economic impact. These include free trade agreements and improved patent protections for inventors.
But others, including Gene Sperling, Obama’s chief economic adviser, say public anger over the debt ceiling debate has weakened Republicans and created an opening for bigger ideas like tax incentives for businesses that hire more workers, according to congressional Democrats who share that view. Democrats are also pushing the White House to help homeowners facing foreclosure.
Notice you are an afterthought, foreclosed-upon homeowner?
Even if the ideas cannot pass Congress, they say, the president would gain a campaign issue by pushing for them.
I have SO HAD IT with the SHIT POLITICAL FOOLEYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“The president’s team puts a premium on being above the partisan fray, which is usually the right strategy,’’ said Senator Charles E. Schumer of New York, the number three Democrat in the Senate. “But on this issue, when he knows what the right thing to do is, and when a rather small group on one side is blocking any progress, you have to be willing to call that group out if you want to get anything done.’’
Unless it is the Zionist Israeli lobby that has a lock on the place.
The debate is being framed by the 2012 election.
AmeriKan media sure is trying hard.
The ailing economy, barely growing at the same pace as the population, has swept all other political issues to the sidelines. Twenty-five million Americans could not find full-time jobs last month. Millions of families cannot afford to live in their homes....

It's also about the wars:
"Obama plan to fight terror leans on existing efforts; Critics assail lack of details" August 04, 2011|By Eileen Sullivan, Associated Press
WASHINGTON - The Obama administration’s new strategy to fight the threat of Al Qaeda and other violent radicals in the United States gives local communities the lead role in protecting the country against such threats and pledges federal support and guidance toward that effort.
Lawmakers who have asked the government for years to develop a plan to address the home-grown terror threat said the administration’s plan is short on details and fails to name a single point of coordination for the various initiatives at the federal and local levels.
After more than two years of high-level meetings, the White House released an eight-page document yesterday that broadly describes a strategy, mostly of initiatives already underway, to prevent violent ideologically inspired attacks like the deadly 2009 shootings at an Arkansas military recruiting center and at the Holocaust museum in Washington, D.C.

So when is the next false-flag frame-up?
Existing local police efforts, after-school programs, and community outreach around the country are at the top of the Obama administration’s continue-to-do list.
The plan says the nation’s counter-gang program, in which communities work together to prevent gang activity, can be a model for efforts to prevent people from falling for any ideology that would inspire them to kill innocent people....
Excepting, of course, the lying ideology of empire that sends them to war and is promoted by the mouthpiece media

Blair, who was forced to resign by the Obama administration, says the White House undermined his authority as director of national intelligence by siding with the CIA, instead of telling it to listen to him.
"They sided enough with the CIA in ways that were public enough that it undercut my position," he said.

So Obama has his chance to be a JFK and he passed?
And he has the nerve to send American kids to risk their lives over lies?
