Obama will reboot the economy by making a half a dozen more speeches. They will order private businesses to create more available jobs immediately for the whole community, especially for unneeded, uneducated, untrained, unexperienced, unwilling, unemployed or even undocumented applicants. In recent months, Obama has been frustrated with Washington focused on what he regards as "manufactured crisis and partisan maneuvering by taking the eye off the ball instead trying to score points by refights of old battles and trumped up phony scandals." - like these:
- Fast & Furious Cartel gun running
- Benghazi Terrorist Attack
- AP News Wiretaps
- IRS Tax-Exempt Status Denials for conservative groups
- NSA Warrantless Wiretapping Surveillance
- GSA Spending Wild on Conventions & Expenses
- Solyndra Solar Panel Debacle
- A123 Systems Battery Bankruptcy
Obama knows people are laser-focused on the economy, but the union workers are fixated on the outcome of the Detroit bankruptcy. The Detroit bankruptsy filing is a test case for paying out unsustainable pension costs that focus on government excesses due to union pandering at the bargain table. Maybe it's time to look hard at how unions have overstayed their usefulness except to exchange benefits for votes - Tammany Hall politics comes to mind!
Obama's Future PredictionsSo again, it does not take any crystal ball to predict that it's to be classic Obama going behind the backs of Congress to somehow move monies around to re-fund Detroit's benefits and retirement programs for votes. All the American cities on the verge of bankruptcy will be noting Obama's strategies in his end-game coup d'etat - more taxes, more bail-out, more regulations and more future failures.
Some of his programs will require Congressional approvals, however any actions that Obama deems necessary is just set into motion through a Presidential executive order. It will be a quick, simple slight-on-hand to do the old switch-or-roo on Congress as he spends while Republicans and Democrats stand by to just watch.
Senate still has bi-partison votes.
Currently Obama is attempting to revive his plummenting 41% job approval poll number with his tired, retread, first-term "infrastructure" program to rebuild bridges and roads to create more jobs. Congress views Obama's floundering attempt as an unaffordable stimulus program bill that cannot win bipartisan passage.
Obamacare certainly does not help in selling congress with any new spending packages with so many voters on heightened alert until it is resolved. Only 3% of Americans think it is a "good idea", so why would any further Obama spending be any better?
FYI: Tammany Hall was an organization based in New York City that became famous for the extent of its widespread political corruption. By the 1850s, Democrats in New York City knew that they would not get elected without the organization's support. Between 1854 and 1934, the group essentially controlled Democratic party politics in New York City, and it had a huge influence over the city's policies and politics. Leaders of the group used an assortment of techniques to consolidate and maintain their social and political power. One extremely useful tool was immigrants to help them get on their feet in the United States in return for unquestioning political support. Money, often in very high places, ensured that it maintained a stranglehold on politics too.
