Lou Dobbs Tonight

Thursday, July 9, 2009

And Harvard economics professor JEFFREY MIRON will weigh in on the state of the U.S. economy—and why the only plausible argument for bailing out banks crumbles on close examination.

"There is a populist and conservative revolt against Wall Street and financial elites, Congress and government," Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg warned in an analysis this week. "Democrats and President Obama are seen as more interested in bailing out Wall Street than helping Main Street."

OBAMA’S CON JOB ON REGULATION WILL NOT IMPACT HIS LARGEST BANKSTER DONORS! WHO’D OF THOUGHT???

“Obama's rhetoric covered the whole financial industry, but the key changes will affect only a few high-profile players, including JPMorgan Chase & Co., while sparing investment banks like Goldman Sachs Group Inc.”

WHAT DID THE BANKSTERS KNOW ABOUT OUR ACTOR OBAMA THAT WE DIDN’T KNOW?

Records show that four out of Obama's top five contributors are employees of financial industry giants - Goldman Sachs ($571,330), UBS AG ($364,806), JPMorgan Chase ($362,207) and Citigroup ($358,054).

Obama’s Credibility Gap

By BOB HERBERT

Who is Barack Obama?

Americans are still looking for the answer, and if they don’t get it soon — or if they don’t like the answer — the president’s current political problems will look like a walk in the park.

Mr. Obama may be personally very appealing, but he has positioned himself all over the political map: the anti-Iraq war candidate who escalated the war in Afghanistan; the opponent of health insurance mandates who made a mandate to buy insurance the centerpiece of his plan; the president who stocked his administration with Wall Street insiders and went to the mat for the banks and big corporations, but who is now trying to present himself as a born-again populist.

Mr. Obama is in danger of being perceived as someone whose rhetoric, however skillful, cannot always be trusted. He is creating a credibility gap for himself, and if it widens much more he won’t be able to close it.

Mr. Obama’s campaign mantra was “change” and most of his supporters took that to mean that he would change the way business was done in Washington and that he would reverse the disastrous economic policies that favored mega-corporations and the very wealthy at the expense of the middle class and the poor.

“Tonight, more Americans are out of work, and more are working harder for less,” said Mr. Obama in his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention in August 2008. “More of you have lost your homes and even more are watching your home values plummet. More of you have cars you can’t afford to drive, credit card bills you can’t afford to pay, and tuition that’s beyond your reach.”

Voters watching the straight-arrow candidate delivering that speech, in the midst of the worst economic crisis since the Depression, would not logically have thought that an obsessive focus on health insurance would trump job creation as the top domestic priority of an Obama administration.

But that’s what happened. Moreover, questions were raised about Mr. Obama’s candor when he spoke about health care. In his acceptance speech, for example, candidate Obama took a verbal shot at John McCain, sharply criticizing him for offering “a health care plan that would actually tax people’s benefits.”

Now Mr. Obama favors a plan that would tax at least some people’s benefits. Mr. Obama also repeatedly said that policyholders who were pleased with their plans and happy with their doctors would be able to keep both under his reform proposals.

Well, that wasn’t necessarily so, as the president eventually acknowledged. There would undoubtedly be changes in some people’s coverage as a result of “reform,” and some of those changes would be substantial. At a forum sponsored by ABC News last summer, Mr. Obama backed off of his frequent promise that no changes would occur, saying only that “if you are happy with your plan, and if you are happy with your doctor, we don’t want you to have to change.”

These less-than-candid instances are emblematic of much bigger problems. Mr. Obama promised during the campaign that he would be a different kind of president, one who would preside over a more open, more high-minded administration that would be far more in touch with the economic needs of ordinary working Americans. But no sooner was he elected than he put together an economic team that would protect, above all, the interests of Wall Street, the pharmaceutical industry, the health insurance companies, and so on.

How can you look out for the interests of working people with Tim Geithner whispering in one ear and Larry Summers in the other?

Now with his poll numbers down and the Democrats’ filibuster-proof margin in the Senate about to vanish, Mr. Obama is trying again to position himself as a champion of the middle class. Suddenly, with the public appalled at the scandalous way the health care legislation was put together, and with Democrats facing a possible debacle in the fall, Mr. Obama is back in campaign mode. Every other utterance is about “fighting” for the middle class, “fighting” for jobs, “fighting” against the big bad banks.

The president who has been aloof and remote and a pushover for the health insurance and pharmaceutical industries, who has been locked in the troubling embrace of the Geithners and Summers and Ben Bernankes of the world, all of a sudden is a man of the people. But even as he is promising to fight for jobs, a very expensive proposition, he’s proposing a spending freeze that can only hurt job-creating efforts.

Mr. Obama will deliver his State of the Union address Wednesday night. The word is that he will offer some small bore assistance to the middle class. But more important than the content of this speech will be whether the president really means what he says. Americans want to know what he stands for, where his line in the sand is, what he’ll really fight for, and where he wants to lead this nation.

They want to know who their president really is.

ONCE AGAIN, ANOTHER OBAMA CON-JOB!

NO PRESIDENT IN HISTORY HAS TAKEN MORE LOOT FROM WALL ST THAN OBAMA!

WHEN OBAMA IS NOT SERVICING HIS BANKSTER DONORS, HE’S SERVICING HIS LA RAZA PARTY BASE BY PROMISING THEM AMNESTY, or at least continued NON-ENFORCEMENT – CATCH & RELEASE, and our jobs!

THERE IS A REASON WHY OBAMA’S SEC. OF illegal LABOR IS A LA RAZA SUPREMACIST, HILDA SOLIS!

Obama's sudden interest in ending outsourcing coincides perfectly with his re-election strategy. He needs union backing and ending outsourcing will be popular with union members. He also needs to demonstrate a more aggressive resolve to lowering unemployment. By focusing on outsourcing as a problem, Obama will place more of the blame for high unemployment on big business.

Obama Calls for End to Outsourcing -- Finally

By Dan McGinnis

COMMENTARY | President Barack Obama told American employers that it's time to bring jobs back to this country to spur new job creation and reduce unemployment. It's a long overdue message that the White House has finally decided to make a centerpiece in national dialogue during an election year. And, while it's a good idea, it also fits really well into the president's re-election strategy.

Associated Press reported that Obama used his Saturday radio address to encourage American employers to return jobs that have been previously outsourced to other countries. This has long been a problem that many unemployed people like to point to as a reason for the lack of good jobs in this country. It's good the president wants to take an action and voiceful stand against the practice.

To further show his resolve, Obama will host an "Insourcing American Jobs" workshop at the White House this week to hear ideas from major businesses on returning outsourced jobs. Reuters reported the representatives from Master Lock, Lincolnton Furniture, software developer GalaxE Solutions and chemicals company DuPont would participate.

Obama's sudden interest in ending outsourcing coincides perfectly with his re-election strategy. He needs union backing and ending outsourcing will be popular with union members. He also needs to demonstrate a more aggressive resolve to lowering unemployment. By focusing on outsourcing as a problem, Obama will place more of the blame for high unemployment on big business.

Another benefit he will reap comes from workers of both parties. Outsourcing is very unpopular with those who have trouble finding a job, and is often blamed for serious job loss in this country. Any initiative by the president to reduce or end outsourcing is surely going to find support among voters in both parties - especially if he can find an immediate success story after the Wednesday huddle at the White House.

It's not often that I find an instance to praise something Obama has done with the economy, but this is definitely one of them. Good job Mr. President!
