Post #5 "Obama & Public Opinion"

This article was written by Daniel Stone covers the release of information right before the 9/11 weekend. The Obama administration released a lot of bad news concerning the welfare of the nation because they knew not many people were like to read the Saturday paper because of it being a holiday weekend.

1. A new employment data release showing no job growth, Obama not stopping the approval process for an oil pipeline, and the management of federal response for Hurricane Irene and the earthquake being more difficult than was supposed to.
2. They would do that right before a holiday weekend because people would be less likely to pay attention.
3. 9/11 commemorations and the GOP presidential debate
4. Obama's agenda are currently to jumpstart his stalled presidency and unveil his jobs agenda
5. This story shows how the Obama administration tries to take control of public opinion so that the media does ot control it by showing how the Obama administration gave the bad news so that the media would not be able to swing public opinion in disfavor of the Obama administration.
