Obama agenda: Sunshine State

There’s this AP story before Obama heads to Miami, FL, a state rich with Hispanic voters: “With his immigration overhaul stalled, President Obama is enlisting an array of voices, including Latino entertainment and media stars, to help jump-start legislation and reassure crucial but restless Hispanic voters that he has not abandoned his campaign pledge to change the law.”

Obama also heads to Cape Canaveral, FL, where he’ll watch the launch of the space shuttle Endeavor with astronaut Mark Kelly on board, husband of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who’s also expected to be there. “One person who will be watching Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' shuttle launch appearance on Friday is the doctor who declared her alive when the world, even her loved ones, thought she was dead,” the New York Daily News writes.

A Quinnipiac poll shows President Obama struggling in Pennsylvania. He’s in a statistical tie with generic Republican and 52% say he doesn’t deserve to be reelected.

The Hill writes, “Pessimism over the nation’s economy is hampering President Obama’s efforts to build momentum for his reelection campaign.”

Some news outlets tracked down the widow of the doctor who delivered Barack Obama in Hawaii

Nothing about the FL t-bagger Rep. Allen West throwing Nicole Sanders in jail?

Nothing about President Obama, being protested against in SF and the reporter who filmed it being banned from the White House Press pool.

So much for the most open Administration ever.

We paid our dues now where is our change!

Bev,

Why are you attacking a Black Man for his views? Now you stated your preference to be a racist to whites, now it's blacks too?

Oh, could it be that Allen West, a combat veteran is no progressive, and now subject to attack?

Tell me Bev, is there a double standard on MSNBC for racism? It is OK for you to smear whites, but good ole Bob gets a week off for a comment. Can you tell me the difference in the two standards? And can you tell me why good ole Sally doesn't give you a week off?

Your limited response should be grand to listen to.

    Helloooo! The economy is recovering if anybody's interested in reviewing facts. Maybe not as fast as we'd like, but growing nonetheless! Hard to get out of the hole dug for eight long years in just two people!

    fedmom,

    Really seems like with total unemployment rising, inflation rising, foreclosures rising, gas prices rising. And home prices falling!

    And this whole that we are in started when the Democrats took over congress in 06. Did not take them long did it.

    fedmom- you haven't been listening to enough 'Hannity'. The important thing now is- Reverend Wright. Forget jobs. Forget deficits. Forget debt ceiling. Reverend Wright is the hot topic all citizens want to know more about.

    Then again, I could just be spoofin'......

    MSNBC:

    Consumers saw groceries price increase by 2.8 percent during the last yearly period, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistic's most recent Consumer Price Index report.

    Even if it shakes off the "transitory" impact of bad weather and higher gas prices, the U.S. economy will have to accelerate even faster than its best quarter last year to overcome the impact of the sluggish first quarter.

    Yup....we have a robust growing economy.
