Obama's New Economic Plan Will Be More Of The Same
By Carole on Sep 2, 2010 | Comment »
President Barack Obama will speak tomorrow on the August unemployment numbers (expected to be bad) and has scheduled two big speeches next week that will focus on the economy.

Second stringer Vice President Joe Biden who has spent the last 18 months acting as a gaffe-prone cheerleader for the Obama agenda can't help either and former President Bill Clinton's loyalties may be with someone other than Mr. Obama in 2012. So why not do what many presidents have done and send the First Lady out to charm the voters? Because Michelle Obama seems to have lost much of her charm.

Why are so many Americans clinging to a failed and destructive ideology when they themselves believe it's not working in their lives?
