Obama's New "Put Country Before Party" Slogan

Thinking that he can continue his incessant drumbeat of divisive rhetoric, Obama has unveiled a new slogan: "Put Country Before Party".

Of course, this is aimed at turning Americans "against" the GOP and the TEA Party as a preemptive strike against any objections to his upcoming jobs plan. However, if you really analyze what he's saying, he's telling the GOP/TEA Party to put "his plan" and "his party" ahead of "theirs". Or, better said: "Put the Democratic Party ahead of Country!"

Unfortunately, it's that very attitude from this ideologically-driven, partisan President that has kept this country from getting any meaningful recovery during these months of drawn-out economic stagnation.

Once Again, Obama Puts Politics Above Jobs

For the President to enter the House chambers to give a major address to a joint session of Congress, it is normal protocol for the President and the Speaker of the House to negotiate, behind the scenes, the appropriate date and time. Only then is the date and time of the address to be announced.

Not the case with this president. Instead, he announces to the world that he will be giving his speech on jobs at a time when Obama's own campaign people must have calculated to have the greatest political impact: Directly opposite the Republican Debate to be aired on NBC. In doing so, he completely sidesteps the historical normal protocol to negotiate with Speaker Boehner.

This just show how in-your-face. petty, and partisan this President is. It also raises the specter that this whole "jobs" speech is another political show for the benefit of the President's 2012 campaign. How sad...
