"Why Obama Must Turn to Jobs"
Posted by scapozzola on 07/29/2011
The Los Angeles Times' Peter Nicholas says President Obama must begin to focus on job creation.
In an article summarizing the Alliance for American Manufacturing's (AAM) new national poll, Nicholas says that Washington is on the wrong track:
When asked if the White House and Congress should focus more on jobs or deficit reduction, by a 2-1 margin people chose jobs...
When the debt ceiling crisis passes, Obama will need to reassure voters that jobs are his top focus. A total of 53% rated their personal economic condition as negative; compared to 49% one year ago. And 60% predicted that the next generation will be worse off economically than their own.
