Exploring big and bold ideas of what?
More bailouts,stimulus,cash for clunkers,green energy failures...
He hasn't a community organizing clue what he or his minions are doing....
Hey, presidents don't create jobs.
Hey, presidents don't write bills.
Hey, place blame on a do nothing congress.
Don't let facts get in the way of your thought process.

Yes, that laser-like focus on jobs that they've had for a year and a half, in between all the votes about abortion and contraception and abortion and Planned Parenthood and repealing Obamacare and tax cuts for millionaires and oil companies and abortion.
During the 2010 mid-terms the GOP campaigned fiercely on the platform of job creation and, as a result of such promises, the GOP gained the majority in the House of Representatives. As new Speaker of the House, John Boehner made the welcome claim that the primary goal of the Republican Party was to increase employment in the U.S.
His exact words were: "We're going to have a relentless focus on creating jobs."
Those were welcome words, except that a week before the 2010 elections Republican Senator Mitch McConnell revealed the GOP's true intent: "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president."
What you'll find on this site is primarily a list of legislation by the GOP-led House of Representatives beginning 2-10-2011, a list which I began purely for my own amusement. The list will soon begin its third year without one anecdotal citation of new employment as a result of Republican legislation. That it has reached its current imposing length is simply shocking. Shame on these useless hypocrites.
Once again Obama is trying to claim he is just like us, sitting outside of Washington politics and looking in. It's as if Obama just flew in from planet Mars, and is flabbergasted by the stupidity and ineptness of our federal government.
"It's going to be the kickoff to what is essentially several months of us trying to get Washington and the press to refocus on the economy and the struggles that middle-class families are going through, but also for us to start exploring some big and bold ideas," Obama said of his Wednesday speech at Knox College in Illinois, which the White House has promised will return the administration's message to economic issues
So let me get this straight, the lman who leads the Democratic Party and sets the agenda, the platform and the message, the same man who controls the executive branch, and the administrative state, and is the political leader for the Senate Leader, is going to go on the road, giving speeches to tell himself, to focus on the economy?
Obama has been Washington for seven years now, and he thinks we are dumb enough to think he has been on the outside looking in????
BTW, on a side note, both he and his wife have been in Illinois, and missed an opportunity to focus national attention on all the murders going on in Chicago. Why pass up this subject, but comment Friday on Trayvon... again?
Why did he say he was going to re-focus on the middleclass when the policies he's creating towards housing are detrimental to the middleclass.
That doesn't make any sense.
Why do people believe everything a man says?
Maybe he's going to tell those at the middle class level who aren't aware of his plan to expand the middle class with his new HUD diversity, raise those at the poverty level, program?
His so-called interest in the middle class is self-serving and has nothing to do with those that worked to maintain a middle class level. Raising those at the poverty level through the government at the expense of those who didn't rely on government to get where they are. He'll tell those who are middle class how wonderful this program is going to be and how they are going to benefit from it.

So here he is playing us for fools again: Obama offers economic message in speech "It's going to be the kickoff to what is essentially several months of us trying to get Washington and the press to refocus on the economy and the struggles that middle-class families are going through, but also for us to start exploring some big and bold ideas," Obama said of his Wednesday speech at Knox College in Illinois, which the White House has promised will return the administration's message to economic issues

It's hard to know we're to start. I don't recall Mr. Obama claiming he was just like us. But it is obvious that his detractors, like the OP, speak -- or in this case, write, out of both sides of their mouth. They criticize Obama if he doesn't speak about the economy and then criticize him when he does.
Remember, presidential road shows aren't uncommon. Bush immediately following his reelection declared he had a mandate and went on a roadshow to push privatizing Social Security. How did that work out?
How is providing people with data a housing policy "detrimental to the middleclass," as Del Boy claimed above!?
