 Obama: ‘The Economy Is Getting Stronger’Posted on Aug 18, 2010
President Barack Obama mustered up some fine rhetoric Wednesday to give the good people of Greater Columbus, Ohio, a sense of security in these, our shaky times. And he did so in, literally, a local family’s backyard. —KA

Whose economy are we talking about, because the U.S. Economy is owned and operated by the American Aristocracy and the Professional Middle Class?
The American Populace, the 70% Majority Common Population of the United States are consumers that enable capital benefit, a revenue stream, from their consumption that goes to the American Aristocracy and the Professional Middle Class, and the “so called economy” is a Mercantile Economy that is dependent upon Asian imports produced by cheap foreign labor without a manufacturing base in the United States that provides jobs and money to the American Populace; given this fact, what does it mean that the economy is getting stronger?
The real question is who is the U.S. Economy getting stronger for, if it is not providing jobs and benefit for the American Populace? ——And, how could the economy getting stronger for the benefit of the American Aristocracy and the Professional Middle Class possibly mean anything to the American Populace, who are NOT getting benefit from the U.S. Economy getting stronger?
If President Obama is standing with the people, President Obama needs to re-institute the “Fireside Chats” of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and let the people, the American Populace, know that he is on their side, acknowledge their plight, and tell them what it is that he is doing to make things better for them.
If President Obama does not want the Democrats to lose the Congress in the 2012 General Election, it is time for President Obama to stand up for the best interests of his Voting Base, the American Populace, the 70% Majority Common Population, the voting strength of the United States; if President Obama does so the American Populace will stand behind President Obama with their voting strength the same way the American Populace stood behind President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, because it is in their best interest to do so; if President Barack Hussein Obama will not stand up for the people, the American Populace, the American Populace will not stand up for and vote for President Obama, and both President Obama and the Democratic Party will lose the Congress, the Senate, and the Presidency in 2012.

Interesting site with some good ideas. The 2nd Bill of Rights listed there is borderline socialist so it may be hard for people to swallow in white bread America where I live. There are still a lot of ideas presented there that I can relate too. The system is broken.

. . . More confusion. What is Really needed…...
A teachable moment for Obama.
Leadership means pointing to clear defined goals and
energizing Main Street. It means stating confidence in the
bearing - clear heading and clear direction.
What’s Obama doing exactly? America is yearning for
Leadership. . . .

The difference between propaganda and news is critical thinking. This is sorely
lacking in the above article, and others in this site for years.
Economic recovery at the moment is only wishful thinking. Obama’s tactics are
like FDRs:
1. Do something, ANYTHING and pretend it was planned.
Report this2. Increase the power of the government.
3. Send positive propaganda and create self-fulfilling prophecies.
