DON'T HATE
The state that is home to one in eight Americans has been ravaged by recession, a housing meltdown and double-digit unemployment. The public is seething over $165 million in post-bailout bonuses paid to executives at American International Group Inc. — an issue certain to overshadow the two-day visit.
His first appearance as president in a state that was a getaway for his predecessors could instead become a political test for Obama, whose administration has been trying to find its voice on the economy. His schedule includes a stop on Jay Leno’s stage in Burbank after town hall-style meetings in Orange County on Wednesday and downtown Los Angeles on Thursday.
With the furor over the AIG bonuses, “if he doesn’t have some really good answers, this could be a nightmare. It’s not going to be enough to say, ‘I feel your anger and we are looking into it,’” said University of California, Berkeley, political scientist Bruce Cain. “There has to be some sort of decisive action.”
NBNToday will not be there tonight, but we will have one of our people peeping through the back window giving you a back door perspective of how this meeting goes down. It sounds like a lynch mob mentality once again, demanding answers from a man who’s been in the highest ranking office in America for less than a hundred days. Damn how long is the probationary period for a brotha’? We, NBNToday choose not to be in the town hall meeting because we know how nasty the OC’ can get. So we will be on the outside getting you the inside scoop. Dig that.
