"Run and Hide"as a Political Stratagy
The Obama Administration is starting to feel the pressure. His grand wish list is starting to crumble as congressional leaders start to feel the pressure from their constituents. "We the People" have started to make ourselves heard.
White House putting off release of budget update
The White House is being forced to acknowledge the wide gap between its once-upbeat predictions about the economy and today's bleak landscape.
The administration's annual midsummer budget update is sure to show higher deficits and unemployment and slower growth than projected in President Barack Obama's budget in February and update in May, and that could complicate his efforts to get his signature health care and global-warming proposals through Congress.
The release of the update - usually scheduled for mid-July - has been put off until the middle of next month, giving rise to speculation the White House is delaying the bad news at least until Congress leaves town on its August 7 summer recess.
We have said NO to more spending. Now Obama has to push the No increases mantra and hope he can sneak another major power grab in.
What is my basis for all this sneaking and jiving?

Go read the rest of How Obama is Stalling.
Go call your representatives and tell them exactly what you expect. Keep the pressure up folks. The tide is starting to turn.

Wow, your fast! I just responded to your last post! LOL
Anyway, I think you are spot on, Obama is feeling the heat and he is stalling! People are seeing through the hope and change mantra and this is when we need to keep the pressure on our representatives and kick their sorry butts out in 2010!
