Obama to Launch “Change that Works for You” Tour

Two-week swing will highlight key economic issues

CHICAGO, IL—The Obama campaign announced today that Senator Obama will launch a two-week economic swing—the “Change that Works for You” tour—on Monday, June 9. Obama will travel across the country, talking to Americans about how the economy affects their everyday lives. He’ll hold events with voters where they work and where they live, discussing the challenges we face and his plans to turn the economy around.

The tour will kick off on Monday with an economic speech in Raleigh, North Carolina.

“The middle class has always been the engine of prosperity in this country—but for nearly eight years we’ve had an administration that tells working people ‘you’re on your own,’” Senator Obama said. “Not when I’m President. I’ll reform our tax code to benefit the middle class instead of the big corporations. I’ll make sure that quality health care is affordable and accessible for every American. And I’ll provide real relief from the housing crisis by creating a foreclosure prevention fund, providing a tax break for homeowners, and cracking down on fraudulent lenders. Those are the kind of solutions that will make a difference for working Americans—and that’s the kind of change we’ll be discussing on this tour.”

1. I'm waiting for him to turn water into gasoline - a kind of wedding at Cana for the 21st century -

or at least take a few lattes and biscottis and divide them up enough to feed a multitude on a sunny day in Portland, Oregon.

Anything else will be a let-down. :shrug:

[NYCGirl]

2. Obama turned the Clintons into losers. That's one pretty big miracle. NT

[babylonsister]

7. LOL! Yes, he did indeed! nt

[jasmine621]

10. No, you and the media did that for him. nt

[Inuca]

YOU?

Meaning US? People that voted for him, donated, and tried to help in whichever way we could? I absolutely agree, we did it for him. As for the media, I suggest you have a look at the Jon Stewart segment from I think Wednesday (or maybe Thursday, not sure), and if you don't try to rmemeber the media coverage from a few months ago about the inevitable and soon to be coronated one.

[SoonerPride]

13. um, you mean the dominant frontrunner that all the media said would coast easily to victory?

That media?

ok.

[Hutzpa]

18. lol! Perfect anecdote

:rofl:

[AllentownJake]

4. I'm looking towards Wednesday at noon

When you will be no longer allowed to say such things.

[TBF]

9. I am thrilled that Obama is our nominee and saddened for those who mock him.

[The_Casual_Observer]

3. So far nothing he is proposing would do anything for the economy

anymore than bush's stimulus checks. The lending fraud thing damage is already done. Theres no money for health care & he knows it, they are already cutting back what little there is for the poor now.

[AllentownJake]

5. End the war

and eliminate Bush's tax cuts and you'll be surprised whats in the Budget.

The Health Care bill will require another tax however the reduction in what ordinary people pay will offset the tax.

[TBF]

11. Exactly - the war is our main economic problem right now.

Here is a website that estimates what the war has cost so far: http://www.nationalpriorities.org/costofwar_home

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

12. Blow up the FICA cap.

Billions and billions of dollars.

[The_Casual_Observer]

16. End the war & it ends the war. The war money was borrowed

NOTHING says that they are going to borrow money for heathcare. Try to tax "the rich" to pay for a program that would cost trillions?

[SoonerPride]

15. False

[The_Casual_Observer]

17. What's false is your belief that you will see any of this in your lifetime.

[SoonerPride]

19. Oh, I'll see it in about 7 months from now.

[BklynChick]

6. this is exactly what he needs to be doing. can't wait to hear more of the details.

[Hope And Change]

8. Kick!

[Inuca]

14. Perfect n/t

[DeDeDe]

20. Obama...cool!

It's cute how so many Hilary fans are against Obama...especially when the two have such similiar views and ideals....my own family won't vote for him (at least they say so now) because he is black with a Muslim name.

If a Dem. is THAT much again Obama you know why....bigots.

VOTE DEMOCRATE...DUH.

[blonndee]

21. Excellent!

Kick despite the bitter sour-grapes shit-stirrers who are trying to burn down the place.
