The nation's top talker uttered 2,264* words in those remarks. He said "balanced approach" seven times, three times in a single paragraph. That's the giveaway. Obviously, David Plouffe and the incumbent's strategists have been polling phrases for use in this ongoing debt duel, which is more about 2012 now than 2011. "Balanced approach" is no sweet talk for old Bernie or tea sippers on the other side.
Obama is running for the center already, aiming for the independents who played such a crucial role in his victorious coalition in 2008. They were the first to start abandoning the good ship Obama back in 2009 when all the ex-state senator could do was talk about healthcare, when jobs and the economy were the peoples' priority.Democrats lost the New Jersey and Virginia governor's offices largely as a result of that and Ted Kennedy's Senate seat in Massachusetts. And then came last November's midterms when voters chose the approach of that historic pack of House-bound Republicans. Read full column here: News New Mexico

Pity the president didn't employ his "balanced" approach when he jammed Obamacare down the throats of the American people. Because it couldn't be passed any other way, the process of "reconciliation" was disgracefully implemented. As a result, many of the promises he made during that debate have been tossed to the side of the road due to lawyers who (How did the president put it?) "SNUCK IN" provisions that obliterated Obama's promises. This president's promises are a kin to the old adage, "check's in the mail...and so on and so forth" Don't think the American people will forget the "balance" Obama employed in that sham.
