Power Play Obama to “Venture Forth” in Heartland
“We took a series of emergency measures to save economy from collapse – I promise you not all of them were popular -- and did what we needed to do. And now the economy is growing instead of contracting.”
-- President Obama speaking to supporters at a Chicago fundraiser.
President Obama has announced a three-day bus tour across the Midwest in two weeks. The president’s blacked-out, bomb-proof motor coach will cruise across the Heartland in a bid to reconnect with disaffected Americans.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney got rather snappish when a reporter questioned why taxpayers should finance a swing-state trip for the politically embattled president.
"The idea that the president of the United States should not venture forth into the country is ridiculous," Carney said.
The natives of the wild territories into which Obama shall venture forth are looking decidedly unfriendly these days. Ohio and even Michigan aren’t looking good for 2012 given the worsening economy and dire jobs picture. Indiana, a surprise win for Obama in 2008 is a distant memory, and even Democratic turf in Wisconsin and Iowa could be up for grabs.
Obama will undertake his venture just after Republican presidential contenders face off in the biggest debate yet (sponsored by FOX News and the Washington Examiner) and just before he heads for his summer vacation in Martha’s Vineyard. This is his bid to stay connected while his would-be replacements are hammering him harder than ever.
What the administration and the Obama campaign know is that however awful the debt debate in Washington has been, the discussion is likely preferable to the growing anger over the sorry state of the economy. (Look for the president to really jump into the discussion over taxes, entitlements etc. this fall).
As the economic outlook and jobs market worsen, individuals are hoarding cash and paying down debts just as corporations have done since just after the Panic of 2008. Deep uncertainty and pessimism mean that consumer spending is shrinking, which is a disaster for an economy that is 80 percent consumer spending.
This makes for a tough spot for the president.
He must profess confidence in the economy, lest he drive it deeper into trouble and raise further doubts about the measures he and congressional Democrats took in 2009 and 2010. But, if he doesn’t express concern he will be seen as out of touch.

Mackinac Island, Michigan “Sunset Lake House” Vacation Home Rental ...
This extravagant beautifully decorated 5 bedroom, 3 ½ bath home, THE SUNSET LAKE HOUSE, sits on an acre of beach front property on Mackinac Island, Michigan (a tiny jewel of an island in Lake Huron) and faces due west, allowing you to experience Northern Michigan’s most picturesque sunsets and an outstanding view of the Straits of Mackinac. Located only two miles from downtown Mackinac Island the SUNSET LAKE HOUSE sleeps 16 and is perfect for family vacations, reunions, corporate retreat or wedding. This home is ideal for large families, writers, artists, or for corporate executive entertaining (just a short ride by horse and carriage from the airstrip where private planes can easily land). Accessible by a 15-minute ferry or plane ride from the mainland (Mackinaw City or St. Ignace, MI), Mackinac Island, Michigan is a singularly unique destination. Since the early 1900′s cars have been banned on this tiny island only 8 ½ miles in circumference. With its Victorian homes and old west main street, the goal here is to stop time in it’s tracks. This is a true horse community – every service on the island is handled by horse and carriage. Want to go into town? Call a horse taxi and a team of horses pulling a yellow carriage will pull up to your home or hotel. Or bike into town — this is a bikers paradise with no cars — just miles of beautiful road with scenic Lake Huron always at your side.
