Kansas City Star editorial: Obama’s speech hit all the right points

Obama’s speech hit all the right points

President Barack Obama’s foray into Kansas isn’t likely to pick up electoral votes in that reddest of states. But his speech Tuesday at Osawatomie High School was good policy and good politics.

In keeping with his penchant for channeling predecessors, Obama chose the town where Theodore Roosevelt delivered his “New Nationalism” speech to outline his own intention to strengthen the middle class.

The elements of Obama’s speech were not new. He decried rising income inequality, blasted Republicans for wanting to roll back regulation of the financial sector, defended his latest nominee to head the Consumer Financial Protection Agency and demanded an extension of the payroll tax cut set to expire later this month.

The president has said those things before. He should keep saying them — and acting on them. Tuesday’s speech was significant because it provided a coherent framework for Obama’s economic policies and a credible rebuttal to Republican opposition.

These communist radicals have been operating underground for 80 yrs. Since wwII, those that fled Germany came here trying to institute the samething that Hitler/Stalin/Chavez/Islam/Castro/ Bill Ayers, and most of GEORGE SOROS. Read up on him. They are trying to push a 1 world rule. Your ancestors and family did not settle in Kansas for this crap. FIGHT! Register to VOTE. Or we could become peasants under the rule of Islam and communism.

4. YES-He needs to repeat this again and again WITH...

He's a master speaker, but probably needs to repeat some of his key phrases with a lot more zeal! He once again clearly described the malaise and what to do about it, back it with stats--Clinton's proven way. He needs a little more umph though!!!!
