WASHINGTON
U.S. President Barack Obama plans to travel and campaign more to pressure Republicans in Congress rather than trying to win their loyalty, sources say.
Now that a mammoth, $787 billion economic stimulus bill has been approved virtually without Republican support, White House advisers have determined that Capitol Hill horse-trading with GOP opponents wasn’t successful and that Obama should instead tap his immense popularity and public salesmanship skills to push legislation in the future, the Washington publication Politico reported Saturday.
“We’ve got to get him out of that White House,” a unnamed top White House adviser said, listing “some very valuable lessons” learned from the stimulus fight. “He’s happier, he’s better, he’s more effective. The inside game is important, but it’s actually not where the success of his presidency is going to come.”
Obama plans to use the tactic in upcoming pushes to pass New Deal-style plans to rescue struggling homeowners and rewrite regulations on the financial markets, plus a budget proposal that lays the groundwork for sweeping healthcare reform, Politico said.
Wild Thing’s comment……..
“…..Obama should instead tap his immense popularity …”
What a crock!
“We’ve got to get him out of that White House,” a unnamed top White House adviser said.
Goodness, that’s the exact same thing I say to myself all the time. LOL I wonder who the “UNNAMED White House adviser is….heh heh…Maybe RAHM EMANUEL ??
What it really means:
“We’ve got to get him out of the White House. He’s already bored and the Republicans here aren’t all fools like the idiots and sheep that think he’s their savior. He’s getting grumpy, he’s showing what a total jerk he is and the press is going to start picking up on it. Michelle is being a raging lunatic cooped up in the White House with no pay. Rahm can handle the inside game, HO-bama wants to travel, appeal to the zombies so we let him. After all, it’s on their dime, so who cares.
The only thing Obama knows how to do is campaign. He is also working already on his re-election. He’s going to be on the campaign trail for four years. And along the way signing bills and Executive Orders that turn our country more socialist by the stroke of his pen.
Plus with his ego he will get more news coverage with his continued campaign. More then sitting at the desk in the Oval Office actually getting advice and having meetings with to him God forbid Republicans giving their input.
May he rot in hell for the damage he is going to cause to this country.
THANK-YOU Wild Thing for depicting my favorite WWF wrestler – Rowdy Roddy Piper’s (George Coombs from Calgary, Alberta)- infamous sci-fi movie where he donned the special glasses and saw aliens… What a great analogy! A few of US see this analogy. Happy President’s Day, where they used to give us Lincoln’s and Washington’s birthdays off from school, only to combine them for… MLK Day I think?
IF we steal his key does that mean he can’t get back in.
How do they think he has been effective? Passed the Pork bill with 3 Rinos ? The democrats had this thing written in December and were just waiting for the new congress to pass this piece of Pork. He said he would listen to other sides, he got the other sides view and quickly told them ‘I won’ go take a hike.
Yeah lets get him out of the White House permanently.
Darth, hahahaha I always liked ole Roddy Piper, I only met him once at the gym (in Calif) but he was very nice and very funny.
Mark, LOL great idea. Yes let’s get the key and lock him out.
