When some person suggests that this President is breaking the schedule and running around the country ad hoc, everybody and I mean every single person knows that that is a dishonest statement. There is little doubt in my mind that toilet breaks are anticipated in the daily schedule. This is not a slap at the President only the weak minded sycophants that write his press releases.Hi, all --Going all the way back to the early days of the campaign, whenever President Obama shook off his schedule and busted out of the bubble, we would say "The Bear is loose."Lately, the Bear has been loose a lot -- and this week will be no different.The President is hitting the road on a three-day swing to Colorado and Texas, where he will meet with Americans who've written him letters and whose stories -- their challenges and successes -- resonate with folks from across the country.So if you want to stay in the loop about what President Obama is up to and where he's traveling, sign up to get updates.While congressional Republicans continue to block votes on important issues like equal pay and the minimum wage and undertake taxpayer-funded political stunts like Speaker Boehner's plan to sue the President for doing his job, the President will continue to do everything in his power -- with and without Congress -- to create economic opportunity for all Americans.The day after the State of the Union, a woman named Alex received a raise from her boss, allowing her to pay rent and afford groceries without worry. Earlier this year, Alex wrote the President to say "thank you."Tonight, the President will deliver his reply in person when he meets Alex for dinner in Denver. And tomorrow, she’ll introduce the President before his remarks in Denver.Make sure you get updates about what President Obama is up to this summer.On Thursday in Austin, TX, the President will highlight the actions his Administration has taken -- more than 40 since January -- to benefit hardworking Americans. From helping to create new manufacturing jobs, to expanding apprenticeships and job training, and from making student loan payments more affordable, to cutting carbon pollution, the President's used his pen and phone on behalf of folks all across the country.We've come a long way since President Obama took office. Thanks to the grit and resilience of the American people, we've made progress and there's reason to be optimistic. Last week, our latest jobs report showed that we've undergone the fastest job growth in the United States in the first half of the year since 1999, with five consecutive months of job growth over 200,000. Yet, we know there’s still much more to do.The President will continue to do his part -- focusing on growing our economy from the middle out, not the top down. And he'll continue to urge Republicans in Congress to join him in working for the folks he hears from every day -- Americans like Alex, whom the leaders in Washington were sent to serve.Thanks,DanDan PfeifferSenior AdvisorThe White House
For the rest of it, such as calling the lawsuits a stunt, is merely a reflection of the leadership's disdain for the rule of law that flows from the Constitution. President Obama considers himself to be omnipotent. Problem is, that whenever he meets a opposing force of serious resolve, his omnipotence is eviscerated. No I do not mean the Republican House of Representatives.
