Obama Campaigned for His Plan Work

Displayed as a defender of the middle class, Barack Obama continues his campaign Wednesday to demand of his Republican opponents in Congress adoptentson they plan to use $ 447 billion in 2012 with his re-election could depend.

The President of the United States arrived in late morning near Raleigh, North Carolina, where he will visit a factory and above all deliver his fifth speech in seven days on these measures, intended to give a “shock” to the economy.

Before North Carolina, where he won a majority of votes in 2008, Obama defended his plan in Virginia Friday and Tuesday in Ohio, both crucial states in preparation for the November 2012 presidential election in which he is a candidate.

But unemployment remains very high at 9.1%, and census statistics showing stagnant incomes of Americans for more than ten years old, weigh on the morale of the voters. They inflicted setbacks in the Democratic Party on Tuesday evening in two parliamentary by which a presumed bastion impregnable until New York.

Faced with Republicans already control the House of Representatives and hold a blocking minority in the Senate, the White House decided to go on the offensive, as evidenced by the tone employed by the President in his public meetings, worthy of its victorious campaign of 2008.

“Do you want the multimillionaires and billionaires keep their tax breaks, or do you want the teachers back to work?” He asked Tuesday against 3,000 people in Ohio, while the crowd shouted “vote this bill. “

“My message to Congress is” but what exactly are you waiting for “” vote for these measures, introduced the president.

Officials said the White House, campaign travel in the heart of middle America could take months. It also seems to respond to the anguish of Democrats elected tempted to dissociate themselves from Mr. Obama.

The popularity of the latter, in addition to the alarming state of the economy, the country has not created any jobs in August, suffers from the trench warfare that has opposed the Republicans in early summer, and led the United States on the verge of default.

Republicans reject the financing of the plan of Mr. Obama, which provides the end for the wealthiest tax exemptions inherited the presidency of Republican George W. Bush, in 2013. Other measures include the end of tax loopholes for large corporations.

Obama’s opponents believe that the stimulus of $ 787 billion issued in February 2009 failed in its objectives. Some measures of the new plan, such as tax credits for SMEs, however, may find favor in their eyes.

Mr. Obama said Monday he would not use the weapon of the veto should the Congress sent him separately for promulgation of the measures in his plan.

“But I tell them” give me the rest, “and I will continue to argue in this direction as it will act so that people back to work,” he promised.

The Republican minority leader, Mitch McConnell, claimed not to be taken to the ultimate goal of presidential travel.

He said Democrats “have said, despite calls from the president to adopt this plan immediately, that their real purpose is (…) to ensure that the Democrats can use it as an argument during the campaign.”

The majority leader in the House, Eric Cantor, was also outraged Tuesday for what he considers a corrupt election. ”Say 17 times” vote this law “is not the right tone or the right way forward.”
