President Obama will use a high-profile address on the economy Wednesday in Cleveland to further elevate House GOP Leader John Boehner as the foil Democrats want to run against in an uphill election year.Let me tell you why this isn't going to work: The majority of voters have no freaking idea who John Boehner is. They've never heard of him, couldn't tell you what he looks like or what job he holds in government. He's never been a very high profile Minority Leader, unlike Newt Gingrich who was everywhere in 1994 before the GOP took the House.
In blogs and speeches, Obama and administration aides have repeatedly targeted the longtime Ohio lawmaker possibly poised to become Speaker, but Wednesday’s address by the president will be the most direct assault yet.
He might as well campaign against John Smith from Everytown, USA.
