Obama plans big economic push: Too little, too late?
By Ed Henry and Erika Dimmler, CNN

....excerpt

But there have also been times when the president has waded into controversies, like the mosque issue in New York City, that have only pulled him off his message on jobs. And despite the bad news for Obama in CNN's latest poll, there's also a surprising revelation that suggests there's still a chance the President could turn this election year narrative around.

The poll shows that more Americans hold the Republicans responsible for the economic mess than the Democrats, with 44 percent blaming the GOP and 35 percent picking the Democrats. And when the name of former President George W. Bush is added to the conversation, the number who blame the Republicans rises to 53 percent, with just a third of respondents saying Obama and his party are at fault.

Those numbers explain why Democrats will be mentioning the "Bush" name every chance they can get in the final two months leading up to the election. But the numbers also raise a question: Why haven't the Democrats been able to do a better job of making the case for their own policies to save the economy?

On the morning after the election, Democratic insiders at the White House and on Capitol Hill may be wondering to themselves about an historic missed opportunity.
