President Obama’s Agenda

Filed in National by on September 27, 2012

This is a two minute ad that will go up in New Hampshire, Virginia, Florida, Ohio, Iowa, Nevada and Colorado.

This is nicely done. It seems hopeful and confident — and I like how he asks the viewer to evaluate for him or herself then launches right into the plan summary. So the highpoints:

  • More jobs — 1M new manufacturing jobs, help businesses double their exports, give businesses who invest in US jobs tax breaks
  • Produce More Energy in the US — cut crude imports in half, invest in more natural gas, clean coal (!), green energy and double the fuel efficiency of automobiles
  • Invest in Training — produce 100,000 math and science teachers, get 2M Americans better job training, cut the growth of college tuition in half, expand student financial support
  • Reduce the deficit — wealthy pay more, invest the savings from getting out of Afghanistan half into debt reduction and the other half into nation building here at home.

Hope my notes on this are correct.  So what do you think about this ad and this outline plan?

    I love the ad and the plan. The President sets up the debates and creates frames for his two terms: Term 1 – stop the hemorrhaging, clean up Republican mess. Term 2 – get to work putting solutions in place that are unassailably fair and patriotic.

    Mitt is going to have his hands full at the debates.

    I’m not seeing the ad or a link to it in the post (using Firefox).
    Thanks.

    Hi Paula, try it again. I reset the content in the link, so I think it should work. Let me know if it doesn’t.

    The Bureau of Labor Statistics issued a revision of the jobs picture through March of this year. And they found 386,000 net additional jobs were added during the past year that were unaccounted for in previous jobs reports. This is not unusual, indeed, the BLS every month revises the totals of earlier months up or down as the case may be.

    This revision now means that President Obama is now a net jobs creator no matter when you start counting.
