More likely, he'll cherry pick some no-brainers and oversell it as a big accomplishment.
I don't see the 'review' as something good. I see it as a prequel to what will come. I foresee fine tuning (re-interpretating) laws without legislative review. Lawyers reviewing what the government can do to you, instead of protecting you.

2 years later he now is talking about jobs. A little late I would say.

Maybe he can help the record homeless, record people who have lost their homes by giving back the money he stole from them with the failed stimulus.
No, the Wall Street Bankers should be doing this. THEY visited this disaster on the country, the overnight dryup of credit, resultant business failures, bankruptcies, layoffs, resultant unemployment, foreclosures, homelessness.

The Wall Street Bankers who created the CDOs should all be jailed, their assets confiscated - which would number in the multi-billions, and that money used to ADD stimulus to prevent further job loss.

Why are you so pessimistic ? I was happy in November when the GOP wave is arrived because Obama was very bad about economics.But now he becomes more business-friendly, he understands better.I prefer Obama like that, if he lower the corporate tax rate to 23% i will be so happy for the US economics, he would have all my gratitude.

New Obama??? My side still hurts from excessive laughter. No, let's actually see him side with Republicans and make a serious attempt to create jobs, cut spending, not add any government, and honor the U.S. constitution. Slight problem: He's not going to do any of that. He hasn't to this point. Remember this past November. The voters have spoken. Time now for change at the top.
