Obama Planning Major Speech
…on his economic stimulus plan
Later in the week, probably Thursday, Obama plans to give a speech in the Washington area taking the case for his package directly to the public, emphasizing the urgency of the crisis and the fact that unemployment could slip over 10 percent if decisive action is not taken.
Obama will talk about the economic crisis and the response it requires, and the setting will be a serious one that will make the appearance very different from a campaign speech, aides said.
The speech is designed as a contrast to the approach taken by President George W. Bush, who has been criticized for not sufficiently explaining his solutions to the economic crisis, including the Wall Street bailout that has now been extended to automakers.

Wait, what about only one president at a time?
He’s given radio addresses and talked about domestic policy, but has been careful not to talk about you know what.
However, I can say that perhaps he doesn’t want to create an international incident by contradicting the current administration.
I don’t think we should expect him to drop his concentration on the economy
