Obama Inc.: What businesses want to learn from the president’s campaign

The president raised a billion dollars for his reelection campaign, but the staffers who engineered his victory may be worth even more to corporations and other groups that are eager to unlock the trade secrets that made the Obama brand so successful. "Everyone wants to know what the special sauce is," says Holly Goulet, senior vice president of the American Program Bureau, a speakers bureau that has encountered rising interest from business groups in hearing from Obama alumni. "There's been a blurring of the lines between politics and business now." While it's virtually a rite of passage for political veterans to hit the speaking circuit or hang out a shingle as a "strategic consultant," it isn't the political horse race or the Washington game that intrigues many audiences and prospective employers so much as the analytics and tools used on the campaign trail that could have a commercial impact well beyond the Beltway. "There's less interest in the politics and more interest in the data and new media side," says Jim Messina, President Obama's 2012 campaign manager. "It's smart of everyone to take a look and say, 'What do they know that we don't?' " After Obama's reelection, former adviser David Axelrod recalls that "one of the first calls I got was, 'Who are the young geniuses? We want to find out if we can hire them.' " Axelrod, who is now a paid contributor to NBC News and MSNBC and runs the Institute of Politics at the Univer

Obama The Cyberhawk: The President’s Second-Term Agenda For Cybersecurity

In the State of the Union tonight, President Obama hit on all the policy points expected of a sitting president (jobs, the economy, foreign policy), but he also took some time to address national cybersecurity policy and an executive order that he signed earlier today to grant the government more power in dealing with cyber threats. This action represents the president’s commitment to act in the face of Congressional holds and objections, and it is clear that tonight’s State of the Union is the kickoff of a much more cyberhawkish second term. RELATED: SOPA Part II Or Not? Congress Taking Up Controversial New Cybersecurity Bill Here is the full text of Obama’s cybersecurity proposals from the State of the Union, as prepared for delivery: America must also face the rapidly growing threat from cyber-attacks. We know hackers steal people’s identities and infiltrate private e-mail. We know foreign countries and companies swipe our corporate secrets. Now our enemies are also seeking the ability to sabotage our power grid, our financial institutions, and our air traffic control systems. We cannot look back years from now and wonder why we did nothing in the face of real threats to our security and our economy. That’s why, earlier today, I signed a new executive order that will strengthen our cyber defenses by increasing information sharing, and developing standards to protect our national security, our jobs, and our privacy. Now, Congre

Romney: ‘The President’s Spending His Time Talking About Saving Big Bird. I’ll Spend My Time Saving Jobs…’

BLITZER: A – a quick question on Big Bird. Was that a mistake to bring it up in the debate? M. ROMNEY: Uh, you know, uh… (LAUGHTER) M. ROMNEY: – I think – I've been watching these last several days. And, you know, a lot of Americans are really – are really hurting. We've got 23 million Americans out of work or – or struggling to get a – a full-time job. And – and we've got one out of six Americans now in poverty, 47 million on food stamps. And the president is spending his time talking about saving Big Bird. I'll spend my time talking about saving jobs, creating jobs, helping people get back on their feet, getting rising incomes again. So I – I think people understand that we can't keep on spending like there's no tomorrow. We can't keep on borrowing and spending massively more than we take in every year. And, uh, Big Bird is going to be just fine. "Sesame Street" is a very successful enterprise. Uh, I don't believe CNN gets government funding, but somehow you all stay on the air. And, uh, I – I just think that – that PBS will be able to make it on its own, just like every one of the other stations. And it does not require us to go to China to borrow money to keep PBS on the air.

Obama vs. Obama: 2008 Candidate Claims Jerusalem Is Israel’s Capital, While 2012 President’s Admin Denies Its Status

President Barack Obama’s administration has had a difficult time deciding whether or not Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. Last Thursday, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney refused to say which locality is, indeed, the principal city of Israel. Then, just one day after Mitt Romney stated that he believes Jerusalem is the capital, the White House decided to take a firm — and divergent — stance , claiming that Jerusalem isn’t currently (but could one day, based on negotiations, become) the nation’s capital. Is your head spinning yet? But let’s add some other factors into the mix. In 2008, when Obama was running for president, he made it clear that he believed then that the city was a part of Israel, as we noted in a previous post . The presidential hopeful made this stance so clear that he even contended that Jerusalem must remain Israel’s capital, even at the end of the negotiation process. At the time, Obama said that any agreement with the Palestinians, “must preserve Israel’s identity as a Jewish state with secure, recognized, defensible borders. And Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel and it must remain undivided.” Watch the then-candidate discuss his previous stance, below: The difficult-to-follow narrative doesn’t end there. In August 2011, TheBlaze reported on a bizarre scenario concerning mentions to Jerusalem on the White House and federal web sites. Our previous post shows the alleged removals of the refere
Why Did 122 College Presidents Write A Letter To Obama?

The presidents of 122 American universities signed a letter addressed to President Obama and four other government officials requesting the creation of new legislature that would change the current policy surrounding international student visas. The letter, sent on July 2, begins by acknowledging the importance of research in maintaining America’s dominant position in the 21st century economy. The presidents argue that these young scholars are funded and trained by American universities only to have their visas expire soon after graduation. We neglect the chance to hire some of our brightest employees, and instead send them back to their home countries with competing economies. To substantiate their claim, the letters lists some crucial statistics, including: the US graduates 16 percent of all PhDs worldwide in scientific and technical field; students on temporary visas were 45 percent of all graduate students in engineering, math, computer science and physical sciences; and that it was recently shown foreign-born inventors were credited contributors on more than 75 percent of patents issued to the top 10 patent-producing universities in the US. The report behind the letter, “Patent Pending: How Immigrants are Reinventing the American Economy,” is created by the Partnership for a New American Economy. Presidents of leading research universities have signed the letter, such as President Hennessy of Stanford University, President F

President Barack Obama's now-infamous "you didn't build that" line about entrepreneurs is an "astonishing" example of how the president reveals his true antipathy against the free enterprise system when he's speaking off-the-cuff sans teleprompter, NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell told Fox Business Network anchor Stuart Varney on the July 19 edition of Varney & Co. "This is a man who said that he wanted to redistribute wealth. This is the man who has given signs of this all throughout his administration," the Media Research Center founder added. "I'm going to stick my neck out, the last person" who attributed the success of the free enterprise system to government, not business owners, "was Karl Marx," he added.
