The Note: Not So Happy Birthday, Mr. President
By MICHAEL FALCONE (@ michaelpfalcone) and Amy Walter (@ amyewalter)
Consult the pages of newspapers in America today, and it's a very dark "hello" to Obama, which celebrates its 50th anniversary.
Splashes on the FT. Collins Coloradoan this title: "Going Nowhere, the economy is struggling to find its bearings."
The very title Associated Press overcome local newspapers in other key swing states: The Florida Times Union, Cedar Rapids Gazette in Iowa and Las Vegas Review Journal, Nevada.
This is the reality that the president and Congress face as they finally leave Washington after weeks of partisan wrangling on the ceiling of the debt and the encounter with the real America.
It is also clear that the face of the debt ceiling has done nothing to help Americans feel better about the direction of the country. According to the results of a USA Today / Gallup taken shortly after Obama signed the debt, 46 percent of Americans disapprove of the agreement while 39 percent approve. http://usat.ly/pKk8Uy
Forty-one percent of Americans say the debt-limit bill will make the economy worse, 17 percent say it will make it better, while one-third reckon it will be a wash.
Nevertheless, at a birthday fundraiser in Chicago last night President Obama described the plan as a “responsible” step, but he lamented the damaging political fight that got both sides to an agreement.
“I think this episode was just a severe example of what's been going on for quite some time and it’s part of what led me to run for president,” Obama told the crowd at a private donors dinner. “It’s part of the reason why, hopefully, all of you are here tonight, because you recognize we still got some more work to do.” http://abcn.ws/pyeroV
More work, indeed. The weak economy and the battles in Washington over debt have taken a toll on the president not only nationally but in key swing states as well. Take Florida for example.
