Let's see now; what do I think Mr. Obama will propose today? I'd say since his goal is to get another four years in office, he will probably propose significant gifts and incentives to particular segments such as young people. Word is that there is less enthusiasm among young voters, so how about forgiveness for their college loans (at enormous cost)? They will naturally be wisely opposed by Republicans, who will then be demagogued by Obama. The Obamamedia will ask Romney if he opposes these "gifts," and what can he say that they won't grill him unmercifully about?
I'd guess the things Obama may propose will all be enacted only if and when he is re-elected, giving voters a financial incentive to vote Democrat.
Now let's see what wiser minds think about all this:
Neal Boortz: Obama speaks on economy today "Whether you intend to vote for Obama or not, you know in your hearts and brains that this hack does not have a clue in hell how to oversee, let alone rescue, a private sector capitalist economy. He will have no new ideas today. It will be the same old ObamaCrap. We need to hire more government (union) workers and make those evil rich bastards pay some income taxes. "But … don’t forget, this is a “framing speech.” So here’s what Obama can be expected to do:"....
Michael Barone seems to think Obama's plans will be influenced by these people: Obama Listens to Rich Liberals, at His Peril "He’s also had plenty of chances to absorb the advice of the kind of rich liberals who like to give money to Democratic presidents. And the evidence that he has taken some of that advice is his initiatives on three issues, each of which involves serious political risk." Washington Post: Obama needs to end his slide. Today's speech is important. "I'm increasingly convinced Obama doesn't know what to say. He knows he is for tax increases, but his reasons seem punitive rather than economic. He is for firemen and police. But the suggestion that he is alone in that support, or that Romney or anyone else is against them, is arrogant to the point of being insulting. Insulting not to Romney, but to voters. He shouldn't stoop to hiding his failures behind pious pledges of support for firemen and law enforcement."
"Romney will talk about cutting regulation and spending, overhauling the tax system, doing away with Obama's health care overhaul and supporting a major oil pipeline known as Keystone XL."
Hot Air Video: “Lost Focus” "The RNC goes after Barack Obama ahead of his “reframing” speech in Ohio [today] by reminding people just how often Obama has had to “reframe” his approach to the economy. In “Lost Focus,” the spot highlights just a few of the promises of “pivots” to jobs by the Obama administration:"
"Instead of coming up with new ideas — as Obama’s policies clearly aren’t working — Obama will propose that the failure of Obamanomics is still the fault of a man who hasn’t been President in almost four years. Voters may still blame Bush for the economic collapse in 2008, but they’re not going to buy that the current economic malaise isn’t due to Obama’s policies, and they certainly aren’t going to vote to “stay the course” as we slip back closer to another recession."
Politico: Boehner gives 'pre-buttal' to Obama speech "In the video, Boehner is shown with copies of several of the 30-plus House-passed bills – a line that has been a rallying mantra for congressional Republicans this year. In tandem, Boehner’s office released a blog post that lays out a sharper attack on Obama and what they view as a “pivot to nothing” amid an economy still suffering a jobless rate above 8 percent."
NRO: Dismantling the Case Obama Will Take Today "President Obama will use a speech in Ohio today effectively to hit a reset button on his re-election campaign, following a stretch of bad economic news and messaging missteps that have shaken Democrats’ confidence and caused some allies to sound the alarm.".... "Translation: Trash the opposition, promise the world to your base, and hope to win a low-turnout election."
