Obama Sends Email To Supporters Saying He’s Frustrated That Congress Isn’t Doing Their Job For Economy, Implies He’s Been Doing His, So It’s All Their Fault

Business Insider:


President Barack Obama’s reelection campaign sent an email to campaign supporters under his name Wednesday with the subject line “frustrated” — critiquing Congress for failing to focus on the critical issues facing the country.


“It’s been a long time since Congress was focused on what the American people need them to be focused on. I know that you’re frustrated by that. I am, too,” the message said, adding that Obama will lay out his own proposals in a speech to Congress next week.


The standoffish email says Obama will push Congress to act, but “whether they will do the job they were elected to do is ultimately up to them.”


As his reelection effort gears up, Obama says he is prepared to run against Congress if it blocks his economic agenda — which will include a number of proposals he says will create jobs.

Friend –


Today I asked for a joint session of Congress where I will lay out a clear plan to get Americans back to work.


Next week, I will deliver the details of the plan and call on lawmakers to pass it.


Whether they will do the job they were elected to do is ultimately up to them.


But both you and I can pressure them to do the right thing. We can send the message that the American people are playing by the rules and meeting their responsibilities—and it’s time for our leaders in Congress to meet theirs.


And we must hold them accountable if they don’t.


So I’m asking you to stand with me in calling on Congress to step up and take action on jobs:

No matter how things go in the weeks and months ahead, this will be an important challenge for our organization.


It’s been a long time since Congress was focused on what the American people need them to be focused on.
I know that you’re frustrated by that. I am, too.


That’s why I’m putting forward a set of bipartisan proposals to help grow the economy and create jobs—that means strengthening our small businesses, giving needed breaks to middle-class families, while taking responsible steps to bring down our deficit.


I’m asking lawmakers to look past short-term politics and take action on that plan. But we’ve got to do this together.


I will deliver this message to Congress next week, but I’m asking you to stand alongside me today
