Obama Will Spend A 'Day In The Life' Of A Regular American - Business Insider

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama heads to Minneapolis on Thursday, the first stop in series of summer road trips where he will aim to spend a "day in the life" of an ordinary American and convince voters that the White House understands their challenges.

Obama will have lunch with a woman named Rebekah - the White House has not provided her full name - who wrote to him earlier this year. He will hold a town hall meeting and, on Friday, give a speech on the economy.

The trip is also aimed at reconnecting Obama with Democrats ahead of midterm elections where Republicans stand a good chance of taking control of the Senate, jeopardizing the chance to accomplish goals for his last two years in office.

Obama's job approval ratings have slid to 41 percent, Gallup said on Tuesday, with voters concerned about the economy and with the way the White House has handled the insurgency in Iraq.

"This is the president's attempt to show the public and the media that hasn't lost touch with those who believed in him, despite what polls may show," said Peter LaMotte, a senior vice president at Levick, a crisis communications firm.

"There is little chance that an election-style campaign will do much to change the polling numbers," LaMotte said.

Obama has campaigned relentlessly this year for populist issues like raising the minimum wage, and has told Democrats they need to vote in November in tight congressional races.

He will get a chance to make that point again at a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, held at a private home on Thursday night.

Politicians know there can be peril in being portrayed as out of touch with regular folks.

Republicans have recently sought to capitalize on an off-tone remark by Hillary Clinton, likely to be a Democratic presidential candidate in 2016, who described her family as "dead broke" after leaving the White House in 2000.

Republicans are expected to dismiss Obama's "day in the life" road trips as preaching to the choir.

But one Capitol Hill Republican aide was less skeptical.

South Carolina Senator Tim Scott regularly spends time with regular people in his state, sweeping floors at a burrito shop, riding the city bus for a few hours, listening to issues - incognito.

"I definitely think he gets a much fresher perspective," said Scott's communications director, Sean Smith, explaining that constituents are more apt to give his boss the unvarnished truth when they don't know who he is.

Surrounded by a bubble of security and an entourage, Obama is unlikely to have a completely similar experience - but he may get to spend time with people with diverse views, Smith said.

"As long as they haven't made it just a room of supporters, then hopefully he'll learn some things," he said.

"It should be a good eye-opener for him."
 
just keeping in touch with their base...just like Hillary is so desperately doing on her pathetic Pre-Presidential book tour.



I mean they were dead broke too....:lol:

Just like the rest of us.

they only reported 420k in earned income in 1999....dang that's nothing

I mean shortly after that Chelsea had a 2 Million dollar wedding....the family had two multi-million dollar mansions they weren't even living in. As they lived in this 100k per week hut in the Hamptons.

but you know...they can relate to the common joe blow for sure.

And her and Owebama are going to prove it. Just as any good old fashioned Kennedy school of limousine liberalism would have it.

Wealthy Clintons Use Trusts to Limit Estate Tax They Back - Bloomberg

As they bitch about wealth disparity, corporatism, as they hack at the tax code and rework estate taxes to keep their ivory towers. To build bigger ones. While telling us how much they and they alone can relate to our struggles. They have direct experience with how much we struggle, how hard they fight, because they live on hills looking down upon all of us. And we pay for all of it.

besides....if you don't like Owebama you are racist. If you dislike Hillary you are sexist. And you wouldn't want those gun loving idiots terrorizing this good country for the rest of us.

From the website of President elect Barack Obama circa 2008:--

Shine the Light on Washington Lobbying
Centralize Ethics and Lobbying Information for Voters: Obama and Biden will create a centralized Internet database of lobbying reports, ethics records, and campaign finance filings in a searchable, sortable and downloadable format.
Require Independent Monitoring of Lobbying Laws and Ethics Rules: Obama and Biden will use the power of the presidency to fight for an independent watchdog agency to oversee the investigation of congressional ethics violations so that the public can be assured that ethics complaints will be investigated.
End the Practice of Writing Legislation Behind Closed Doors: As president, Barack Obama will restore the American people's trust in their government by making government more open and transparent. Obama will work to reform congressional rules to require all legislative sessions, including committee mark-ups and conference committees, to be conducted in public. By making these practices public, the American people will be able to hold their leaders accountable for wasteful spending and lawmakers won't be able to slip favors for lobbyists into bills at the last minute.

Hold 21st Century Fireside Chats: Obama will bring democracy and policy directly to the people by requiring his Cabinet officials to hold periodic national broadband townhall meetings to discuss issues before their agencies.

From the website of President elect Barack Obama circa 2008:--

Sunlight Before Signing: Too often bills are rushed through Congress and to the president before the public has the opportunity to review them. As president, Obama will not sign any non-emergency bill without giving the American public an opportunity to review and comment on the White House website for five days.
Shine Light on Earmarks and Pork Barrel Spending: Obama's Transparency and Integrity in Earmarks Act will shed light on all earmarks by disclosing the name of the legislator who asked for each earmark, along with a written justification, 72 hours before they can be approved by the full Senate.

From the website of President elect Barack Obama circa 2008:--

Make White House Communications Public: Obama will amend executive orders to ensure that communications about regulatory policymaking between persons outside government and all White House staff are disclosed to the public.
Conduct Regulatory Agency Business in Public: Obama will require his appointees who lead the executive branch departments and rulemaking agencies to conduct the significant business of the agency in public, so that any citizen can see these debates in person or watch them on the internet.

From the website of President elect Barack Obama circa 2008:--

Free Career Officials from the Influence of Politics: Obama will issue an executive order asking all new hires at the agencies to sign a form affirming that no political appointee offered them the job solely on the basis of political affiliation or contribution.
Reform the Political Appointee Process: FEMA Director Michael Brown was not qualified to head the agency, and the result was a disaster for the people of the Gulf Coast. But in the Obama-Biden administration, every official will have to rise to the standard of proven excellence in the agency's mission.


From the website of President elect Barack Obama circa 2008:--

Enforce Executive Branch Ethics: The Obama-Biden administration will give the Office of Governmental Ethics strong enforcement authority with the ability to make binding regulations, and it will work with inspectors general in all the federal agencies to enforce ethics rules, minimize waste and ensure federal officials are not using their offices for personal gain. The OGE will also be the clearinghouse of all public records relevant to ethics in the Executive Branch and place this information on its website. Finally, the OGE will promulgate rules and procedures to record all oral and in-person "lobbying contacts" between registered lobbyists and political appointees and make those records available to the public in a searchable computerized database.

Chelsea tried to care about money! She really did! She just couldn't bringer herself to it! Maybe you would care about money, cunt if you were ever without it.
 
So why didn't he do this 6 years ago? And what has he done to help improve this person's life in those 6 years?
 
Chelsea tried to care about money! She really did! She just couldn't bringer herself to it! Maybe you would care about money, cunt if you were ever without it.

:lol:

right?

"I was curious if I could care about [money] on some fundamental level, and I couldn’t. That wasn’t the metric of success I wanted in my life."

She is above all that...obviously

Chelsea Clinton's $3 million wedding budget - NY Daily News

Chelsea’s wedding: $600K in tents, $15K for toilets

she bought a $10.5 million apartment in NYC with her husband Marc Mezvinsky last springa

she was reportedly paid $600,000 last year by NBC to do a little reporting…and by little, we mean little. In fact, she's still being paid $50,000 a month by NBC despite not having been on since January

Go fucking figure NBC would pay her for doing essentially nothing.

I'm just glad as the daughter of such elitists she too can relate with our pain and has transcended the need to be greedy with other peoples money.
 
I was going to make a comparison about Michael Moore caring about hot dogs, and Chelsea caring about money. But the guy obviously cares about hot dogs.
 
hehe....ender thinks hillary can cure what ails him.

Michael Moore, at a robust nine thousand pounds, thinks he can teach Americans about the ills of greed, gluttony, and living with excess while others suffer.

he should preach some more about it
