That’s his solution to everything, meaningless speeches.
SAN JOSE — President Barack Obama will come to San Jose on Friday to tout California as proof that his “Obamacare” health care reforms are working.
The White House on Tuesday announced the policy address, which follows the president’s appearances Thursday at a pair of fundraisers for Senate Democrats. It’s not yet clear where the president’s address will be or whether it will be open to the public.
This trip could be a chance for Obama to “take the spotlight off of the IRS, the AP issues, Benghazi — all these things that individually may or may not amount to much, but collectively cast a shadow over a guy who’s trying to get things moving in his second term and instead finds himself in neutral, at best,” said San Jose State University political expert Larry Gerston.
But it might not be a cakewalk, either, as some of his deep-pocketed local supporters could ask tough questions at the fundraisers.
Environmentalists might urge him to block development of the controversial Keystone XL oil-sands pipeline. Business people might urge him to take a hard line on China’s hacking of U.S. trade secrets with Chinese President Xi Jinping during their meetings Friday and Saturday. And all sorts of people might have all sorts of ideas about what a fair immigration reform bill will look like.
