In Florida, Obama calls for heat on Congress

President Barack Obama continued his economics road show on Thursday, coming to the Jacksonville Port Authority to underscore his commitment to infrastructure investment and bash Republicans for delaying progress.

The president chose Jacksonville because the port is home to two port development projects that he fast tracked last year as Congress remained mired in a seven-year delay over an authorization bill.

With his shirt sleeves rolled up, Obama told the crowd of about 500 port employees, union members and Democratic VIPs that as ?Washington keeps taking its eye off the ball,? with ?political posturing and phony scandals,?? he is prepared to continue to use his executive powers to advance projects if Congress won?t act.

?I?m not going to let gridlock or inaction or indifference to the plight of families get in the way of this country,?? he said in the 26-minute speech inside the port?s steamy passenger terminal. ?So where I could act on my own, I?ll act on my own.??

The president?s criticism was at times broad, saying that too often ?Washington hasn?t just ignored the problem, a lot of times it?s made things worse.? But he reserved his harshest swipes for the Republican-controlled House which has resisted his appeals on the federal debt limit and mandatory budget cuts.

?Shutting down the government just because I?m for keeping it open, that?s not an economic plan,?? he said. ?Threatening that you won?t pay the bills in this country when we?ve already racked up those bills, that?s not an economic plan. That?s just being a deadbeat.?

As an example, Obama referred to Congress? failure to pass a water resource bill that would provide the authorization to allow the Jacksonville port to deepen the Mile Point channel it says it needs to allow supertankers, which can hold the load of other cargo ships, to come from Asia through the Panama Canal.

Bringing in more supertankers ?works for everybody,?? he said, because it means ?more contractors are getting jobs,? have more money ?to spend at the restaurant,? and that brings more money for the waitress ?to buy her iPod.?

He noted that manufacturing jobs are the cornerstone of the middle class, as are investments in education, science and research, but ?too many folks in Washington have been cutting these investments.?

The president?s road show drew the scorn of the Republican Party of Florida at a news conference before the president?s arrival.

?It?s time for the president to lead,?? said state Sen. John Thrasher, R-Jacksonville, a former Republican Party chairman. ?He?s been president for 5 1/2 years and what he?s basically doing is back to the same old campaign mode and that?s not leadership.?

Gov. Rick Scott, who was out of state attending a meeting of the Republican Governor?s Association, sent out a statement bashing the federal corporate tax policy.

?High taxes hurt job creation, plain and simple,?? Scott said. ?If the president wants to turn around our national economy as we have turned around the economy in Florida, he should follow Florida?s lead and cut the federal corporate income tax so more manufacturers and businesses can invest and create jobs.??

The president?s speech is part of a series of addresses scheduled over the next several months intended to call attention to the plight of the middle class and outline his ideas for reform.

He sounded the same themes and cribbed many of the same lines from the two speeches he gave Wednesday in Illinois in Missouri, emphasizing the need to build the country ?from the middle class up? and vowing to devote the remainder of his term ? ?1,266 days? ? to the goal.

But as the president attempts to shift the debate in Washington back to his campaign narrative of the middle class, he offered few specifics. He also emphasized that he will listen to ideas from anyone.

?I don?t claim to have a monopoly on every good idea,?? he said to laughter. ?I?m happy to steal good ideas from anybody, because I just want to make things work.?

The president attacks on Congress come at a time when both his and Congress? popularity rating are at a two-year low.

A McClatchy-Marist poll last week found Obama?s job approval at 41 percent, his worst showing in the poll since 39 percent in September 2011, while public approval of congressional Republicans, who control the House of Representatives, was at a dismal 22 percent. An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll also conducted last week found that 83 percent of Americans disapprove of the job Congress is doing.

Pope brings in lay experts to help reform Vatican

By Philip Pullella

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis has brought in international experts to help him overhaul the Holy See and move on from a series of scandals under his predecessor Benedict XVI.

Urged on by the cardinals who elected him four months ago, Francis set up a commission on Friday to help him reform the Vatican's administration and finances.

Made up of seven international lay experts and one cleric, the commission will report directly to the pope and advise him on economic affairs, improving transparency and enforcing accounting principles.

Its members will have the right to examine any paper and digital document in the Vatican.

Francis inherited a Church struggling to deal with priests' sexual abuse of children, alleged corruption and infighting in the central administration and conflict over the running of the Vatican's scandal-ridden bank.

Benedict left a secret report for Francis on the problems in the administration, which came to light when sensitive documents were stolen from the pope's desk and leaked by his butler in what became known as the "Vatileaks" scandal.

The documents accused Vatican insiders of corrupt dealings, including the award of contracts to outside companies at inflated prices.

The new commission's lay members are experts in economics, finance, management and law and come from Spain, Germany, Italy, Singapore, Malta and France, the Vatican said in a statement. The cleric will act as the commission's secretary.

It will draft reforms of the Holy See's institutions to simplify how they work and improve the way they manage their finances.

They will advise Vatican departments and find ways to "avoid the misuse of economic resources, to improve transparency in the processes of purchasing goods and services", the statement said.

BROAD POWERS

Francis ordered all Vatican departments to collaborate with the commission and bypass usual rules that oblige officials to respect the secrecy of their office.

In reporting directly to the pope, the commission, which Francis set up with a personal decree known as a "chirografo", will bypass the Vatican's Secretariat of State, its chief administrative office which itself has been hit by allegations of scandal and corruption.

The new commission was Francis' third bold move to reform badly tarnished Vatican institutions.

One month after his election, he set up an advisory board of cardinals from around the world to help him govern the Catholic Church and reform its administration.

Last month, in an attempt to get to grips with an institution that has embarrassed the Catholic Church for decades, he set up a special commission of inquiry to reform the scandal-plagued Vatican bank.

The new commission will coordinate its work with the advisory board of cardinals and hold its first meeting after Francis returns to Rome after his July 22-29 trip to Brazil.
