Obama has a big problem. The stimulus package has utterly failed to
prevent unemployment from getting above the target line of 8%. After
some initial optimism about the economy, employers are once again
shedding jobs and reducing costs, particularly as they see Obama’s
expansive — and expensive — legislative agenda work through Congress.
At the time when Obama says, “Trust me to run health care,” voters are
realizing that he couldn’t get the economy right while mortgaging the
Treasury. Maybe Obama should focus on fixing what he’s already broken
before breaking something else.
