Obama Speech Open Thread

Tonight, after weeks of teasing, President Obama is set to announce his plan to turn around the economy. Yes, he had two years with a Democrat Congress to do it…but he apparently really means it this time.

Of course, he might just be focused now because he has to go through the trouble of getting reelected. In the minutes before he will talk incessantly about bi-partisanship, he sent this email to his supporters:

I’m about to head to the Capitol to ask Congress to act on my plan to put Americans back to work.

Before I do, I wanted to write you directly to remind you that the fight to create jobs — and provide the kind of economic security for middle-class families that’s been slipping away over the last decade — won’t begin or end with the speech I give tonight.

What happens will be up to you. In the coming days and weeks, it will be up to you to pressure Congress to act — or hold them accountable if they do not.

If you’re with me, let me know. And the campaign will make sure you are looped into our efforts to support this plan.

Talk to you soon,

Barack
