One way to look at President Obama's latest speech tour beginning today:
President Obama takes his firm commitment to grow the American economy on the road today, stopping in Illinois and Missouri to urge creation of thousands of new jobs to continue expansion of the middle-class within the heartland and across this great nation.
"The President will deliver remarks at Knox College," the White House announced with excitement, "to kick off a series of speeches that will lay out his vision for rebuilding an economy that puts the middle class and those fighting to join it front and center."
Another way to look at Obama's latest speech tour:
Lord spare us, the nation's most addicted campaigner heads out for --what? -- the 84th time today to call on somebody to do something about the country's stubbornly stagnant economy to finally create the hundreds of thousands of new jobs he and Joe promised more than four years ago when he started spending trillions of our dollars.
Obama has pivoted to the jobs meme so often since Jan. 20, 2009, that he needs new soles on his shoes. Remember when Scott Brown became the first Republican to win a Massachusetts Senate seat in four decades? Obama, who'd been pushing financial reform and ObamaCare, said he got that message loud and clear. He'd turn to j-o-b-s.
According to Obama's White House, which hosted the Louisville Cardinals NCAA champion basketball team Tuesday and will welcome the World Series San Francisco Giants next Monday, Republicans have taken their eye off the ball by not focusing on the country's top challenge: Jobs.
Obama has never met a problem he couldn't throw a speech at. Just since his unfortunate reelection last November with 8.3 million fewer votes than 2008, the Democrat has pivoted to an unalterable commitment to new gun controls. Which required a tour of speeches.
Which was followed by his new top commitment to immigration reform. Which required a tour of speeches. Remember how devastating sequestration was certain to be? Not!
Which was followed by a national security vision for a new world. Which only took one speech because foreign affairs are boring and Obama would rather not talk about his failures in Egypt, Libya, Syria, etc.. Which was followed by climate control, the latest must-do ASAP top priority.
Not counting side excursions into terrorism, drones and another promised closing of Guantanamo. Alsohousecleaning some top generals.
