	Oh, joy. Another Obama speech packed with warmed-over, previously-rejected, unaffordable ideas
	Obama and his party may face an “impossible headwind in November” unless it shifts to a more forward-looking economic message aimed squarely at the middle class
	As others have written, pointing out that Obama and Democrats had two solid years of massive majorities to fix the ailing economy, yet they spent their political capital on an unpopular and unaffordable health care overhaul,

You know what our "depression"-ravaged economy needs right about now? An serious injection of retooled presidential rhetoric, that's what. President Downgrade to the rescue:

President Barack Obama will use a campaign policy speech Thursday to contrast his preferred approach for the country's economic future with ideas proposed by his likely Republican opponent, Mitt Romney, people familiar with the speech said. Mr. Obama's address in Cleveland, described by his aides as a "framing" speech, isn't expected to include any major new proposals. While some of his political advisers had pushed for that, his economic team made clear they don't see many fresh options, particularly when Congress hasn't passed the bulk of a jobs bill that the president unveiled nine months ago...

Oh, joy. Another Obama speech packed with warmed-over, previously-rejected, unaffordable ideas -- but at least he'll present them using tweaked (and undoubtedly focus-grouped) language. I wonder how Thursday's big address will differ from his Kansas screed from last December, or his dishonest diatribe about the Republican budget earlier this spring. Why, pray tell, does Team Obama feel compelled to adjust its economic "framing"? Because his own strategists and pollsters are seriously concerned about the inefficacy of his current approach.
