The Uptown Theatre after the President’s speech.

The background behind President Obama in Kansas City read, "Opportunity for All", it could have read, ‘ Congress: Stop Hatin”

It appeared that the President may have been trying out some lines for the stump speech this fall before the mid-term elections.

Many of them aimed at Congress. He told 1500 people the GOP on the Hill ought to cool down.

"Stop hatin’," He said.

"Just come on!, come on! You don’t have to be mad all the time," Obama said as the laughter in the crowd grew.

Even as The President spoke here, House Republicans were starting their debate on whether it not to sue the President.

They charge he’s overstepping the law on Obamacare.

Obama says he’s entitled apply the law.

He says the GOP House suit is a "political stunt,"

"It’s worse than that. Becuase every day they spent on that, is another day they’re not working on things that can actually help you".

Obama seemed very relaxed in delivering the speech.

At one spot he even seemed to amuse himself.

He was talking about trying to close what’s known as the " Inversion loop hole".

That where American Claire’s use an overseas subsidiary as the parent firm in order to dodge US taxes.

He said that was beyond being "not right".

"I hope everybody notices the differences there " he added. "There are some things where it ‘not right’.

Then there are other things where that ‘jus’ ain’t right’!"

It sounds better when you hear it than when you read it.

He ticked off his effort in health care, pre school and college affordability and claimed his Adminstration had protected the middle class and continues trying to protect it.

He even defended his term from the "socialist" charge on the right.

"These are not un-American ideas! These are patriotic ideas! They’re what built America!", the President countered.

More than an economic speech, this sounded a like test drive for a

Mid-term exiting campaign. Stump speech

Which finally explains why the President came to Kansas City in the first place.

You have to try the stuff out somewhere
