Obama, Jobs to be # 1 Priority

[Excaliber]

I'm surprised the Demo party doesn't call it like it really is. Coakley barely ran a campaign until very late in the game. She ASSUMED she would be elected, it's always been that way, it's a Kennedy seat, what could possibly go wrong? She didn't even try, HER fault, period.

Now the Dem's have to take some heat for not recognizing the problem earlier and kicking some butt as it concerns HER campaign. Their actions were to little to late.

What the hell good is national health care if 10% of the population doesn't have jobs to pay for the required insurance???

Which is precisely WHY we need health care reform.

You think Obama (or any POTUS) has some magic wand he can wave and recover the jobs that have been lost? They are over, they are not coming back, the job picture is irrevocably changed for thousands if not millions in this country. Turning his attention to the matter will likely result in another round of expenditure's to create new job positions to replace those that were lost. This by it's very nature is going to be a long term investment. When immediate results are not forth coming, and they won't be, somehow it will be his fault.
