Barack Obama has gone out again for a second round of tax-payer funded bus campaigning in his expensive tax-payer funded buses. The Obama administration has the gall to claimed that the three-day bus tour is not political, even though the bust campaign goes through the states critical to his re-election in 2012.
These trips are nothing more than tax-payer funded campaigning, which is against the law, but Obama and the Democrats feel that they are above the law. As usual, Obama will do whatever the hell he wants to do, and then rely on the corrupt Obama-Swooning Media to cover for him, while attacking other REAL JOURNALISTS who are asking the tough questions of Obama, and who don’t get chills up their legs when they hear him read from his teleprompter.
President Obama will kick off a three-day bus trip through small towns in politically competitive North Carolina and Virginia Monday, but White House officials insist the trip is about jobs, not votes.
So much so, in fact, that they convened a conference call Sunday to reiterate that point several times, pointing out that the trip is fully on the taxpayers’ dime, not the president’s re-election campaign’s.
‘The message to the American people and to Congress will be clear,” said principal deputy spokesman Josh Earnest. “Pass the bill this week to protect the job of a North Carolina teacher, or come down here, look her in the eye….”
Well, you get the idea. Obama’s message for the next three days will be to challenge Congress — particularly Republicans — to support key elements of his jobs plan or explain why they won’t.
The trip coincides with a new legislative strategy for Obama and congressional Democrats. Now that Senate Republicans have blocked the full $447 billlion plan from being considered, Democrats are breaking it apart.
The Senate will start this week with $35 billion in federal aid to state and local governments intended to preserve the jobs of teachers, police and firefighters. The White House estimates it would support the jobs of 400,000 teachers.
Obama will take that message to two high schools, a community college, a firehouse, a small airport, a YMCA and an Air Force base in the two Southern states he won in 2008 — North Carolina by the narrowest of margins, Virginia more handily.
He’ll even stop by Fredericksburg, Va., on Wednesday, next door to the House district of Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor, who has become the Democrats’ chosen poster boy for obstructionism. Again, Earnest denies any political intentions.
‘There’s no specific reason to target Congressman Cantor, other than to ask him to join with Democrats and Republicans to pass the American Jobs Act,” Earnest said.
While Obama is on the road down south, Vice President Biden will take an identical message to York, Pa., Tuesday. Pennsylvania is another key state in the 2012 election — one that Biden happens to have been born in.
