Has Obama misread the country by focusing more on health care than the economy?
1 They dumped $750 billion into the economy. Exactly what kind of focus are you after here? I suppose we could ask for more hand-wringing, but the fact is that a $14 trillion economy does not turn on a dime, nor does a fiscal crisis five years in the making disappear over night.
The focus on health care may have turned out to be a loss for him. He thought the polls indicated substantial support, but that's for "health care reform" in the abstract, while actual proposals are always easily attacked. But even if he'd passed on that, I don't know how much more he could have done for "jobs".
About the only obvious thing he didn't try was directly creating federal jobs, for which the wind-up toy would be barking "socialism! Socialism! " anyway.
Obama and this Congress has ignored what the people have asked them to do. The people that elected them into office, have asked them to put the economy and jobs first priority. Then they have asked them to fix the health Care System, not revamp it.
The Majority of people in this country are very upset with what is going on in Washington. This is why there is such a close race for Ted Kennedy's seat that the Democrats have held for 50 years. Tomorrow will tell the story on that race.
If the Democrats loose this seat, it is sending a clear message to Congress and Obama that they need to get there heads on and fast if they want to get reelected in two years. Obama spent yesterday, Sunday doing everything he could to change the tide of the election. The polls are showing that the Republican has 60% of the vote.
Can Obamas coat tails pull this off? We will find out tomorrow. Congress is already making plans in case they loose this seat tomorrow to get the Health Care Bill passed.
They will do anything to get this legacy for Obama passed. This isn't for the people it is for a legacy for Obama to be remembered for years and century from now. We continue to loose jobs in the US every day now, the unemployment at 1o% with the real figure at 17% counting all that have now run out of benefits.
This is a disgrace for the US and this Congress and Obama. Over a year now Congress has done nothing but work on a Health Care bill that no one wants, ignored the fact that unemployment keeps rising. They did pass a very expensive stimulus package, but that has done nothing to help except waste our tax dollars.
Every day Obama wants to spend Billions and Trillions of dollars that we do not have. He just thinks he can make all the money in the world and not have to pay it back. This Administration is spending more money that any other Administration in History.
Our Grandchildrens, Grandchildren will still be paying off this debt, unless our economy completely collapses, that will happen when China calls in it IOU'S. We are in deep trouble and either no one cares or they just don't understand.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
