you said healthcare back when. and what about jobs??? we did the stimulus. bring on the tea parties. what more do you want done? I thought it was up to Americans to make American jobs. what do you want the feds to do? the fed is understaffed. you'd think they wouldn't be what with the unemployment #'s. I guess a lot of people just aren't all that interested in work. you want a new wpa program? push for it. it can be done at the same time. it is foolish to think it can't be. people just aren't really interested. it is an excuse to yell at Obama. nothing more nothing less. and as far as I have read and talked with people, it is not the unemployed poor who are upset at Obama, certainly not upset at him dealing with healthcare or trying to... it is employed, educated upper-middle class people. what's with that?

<<...Jobs are a bigger issue than health care...>> Yes, and Obama failed to realize that during his first year...Way, way too much time and political capital was wasted on a very counter-productive health care bill (it was introduced in the wrong way, with the wrong message, at the wrong time)...And way too much time was spent on trying to make a case for a dangerous and expensive escalation of the 8 year old war over in Afghanistan -- this may become Obama's VietNam...Yet, President Obama should have spent MUCH more time and attention on Jobs and revitalizing the American Economy...His priorities have been off and he needs some new advisors ASAP...Obama's first year hasn't impressed me very much.
