Report: Floundering Obama May Present Only Part of His “Jobs Plan” During Joint Session of Congress Speech

Good grief.

Fox News’ Ed Henry is now reporting that President Obama will not present “his entire jobs speech” at the Joint Session of Congress he requested this coming Thursday night:

FOX NEWS: In what could be a way of lowering expectations for next Thursday’s big economic speech, aides to President Obama are privately spreading word that he will not present his entire jobs plan in his address to a Joint Session of Congress.

Aides say Thursday’s speech will be part of a bigger plan the White House will roll out throughout the fall with the president hitting the road for speeches and town hall appearances. Aides have already confirmed that Obama will be traveling to California, Colorado, and Washington state for one three-day swing later this month that will include economic events as well as some fundraising.

The move could be a way to try and lower the stakes for Thursday’s Joint Session appearance, but it could also be an attempt by the administration to show the president is trying to stay all over the economy heading into what will likely be an uphill re-election battle.

“There’s no question the president will want to keep returning to jobs,” one top aide told Fox News. “I don’t want to downplay the speech [next week] — it’s going to be substantial. But the idea that this is the be-all and end-all is wrong.” . . . . Read More

So, President Obama requests a Joint Session of Congress – often reserved for matters of National Security or State of the Union Addresses – so he can present PART of a Jobs Plan?

Obama has gotten everything he wanted – Stimulus, Financial Regulation, ObamaCare – and that’s the problem. His policies have been an abject failure in turning the economy around. In fact, he’s made it far worse, with no end in sight.

Now, Obama and his team are floundering – and it shows.
