WHY DOESN’T PRES OBRAMA USE THESE Three GREAT REASONS TO ADVANCE HIS PROGRAM?

1) On Tax cuts for the rich the Pres again has let the republicans set the terms of the debate. The debate should not be primarily on the SIZE OF THE DEFICIT. The debate should be on measures to help the economy grow. As it stands now everyone is expecting the Pres to cave and agree to tax cuts for the very rich. There will some whiney excuse about the mean republicans who held the tax cuts hostage unless given to the rich. WHY NOT TURN THIS SITUATION AROUND! AFTER THE ELECTION THE PRESIDENT ANNOUNCES THAT HE WILL VETO ANY TAX LEGISLATION THAT HAS A TAX CUT FOR THE VERY RICH.
If the republicans want a tax cut they agree to leave the rich out. This would probably be the outcome as the Republicans seem much more strong on tax cuts than the democrats.. John Boehner let the cat out of the bag IF THEY DON’T AGREE THE TAX CUTS EXPIRE. Take a clue from Bill Clinton in 1993, this might be the best outcome.

2 In 1948 Harry Truman campaigned against the ”do nothing Congress” Why can’t Pres Obrama use this type of approach against the do nothing Republicans now? There is an old saying, “Are you part trying to help or are you part of the problem?” There are many approaches that should show the Republicans are part of the problem.

3 Show the public that the gov't is their friend and protector not their enemy.
The social security provides us with money in later years, Security and Exchange Commission guards against financial fraud, the FDIC protects against loss of assets if a bank goes under, the FBI protects us against criminals and terrorists, the US Dept of the Interior protects our land resources and helps supply our energy. We benefit when these dept's perform their duties. One of the reasons the country is in trouble now is the Bush administration did not fund these dept's and appoint people interested in helping the public.

4 All of these approaches seem more powerful than saying however bad the democrats are the republicans are worse. The “worse” approach seem noticeable lacking in motivation and generating enthusiasm.
