President Barack Obama still calls shoring up the middle class his

Economy Is Being Eclipsed as Top Campaign Issue - ABC News


Is this part of the plan? There is not much to campaign on the economy. Therefore it maybe asked is a turn to a foreign conflict we have nothing to do with just a ploy to divert American's attention?
Is this about the 2014 midterms?

Other than GOP prescribed tax cuts, how would you suggest this president "focus on the economy"?

Other than a tax cut, what action[s] would you suggest he do to get the "Economy" to a state of your liking...?

Ask The President who recently went across the country laying out his plan for the economy and to raise the standard of living for the middle class. I hardly rely on a President's "economic plan" to affect the economy. The Federal Reserve is another story.

This gets more pathetic by the day. Obama himself stated that if he couldn't fix the economy that he didn't deserve a second term. Now that he's obviously failed whenever anyone questions The One the Obomots are all about "well what would you do then Mr. Smarty Pants!!??

This is the issue. Why can politicians ever just tell us what the reality is?

A President has very little power over the economy in the first place.

Yes they can cut and raise taxes to a certain degree but they really do not have the power to change the eocnomy enough to make any significant difference.

There's a campaign occurring right now? I mean I know New Jersey is picking a Senator and a Governor, and New York City is picking a mayor and Virginia is picking a Governor, Lt Governor, and Attorney General but is anyone really paying attention to any congressional races? Sure we all get a great laugh out of the McConnell campaign implosion, but beyond that I just don't see it.

Obama doesn't give one thin krap about the economy. If he truly cared, he would immediately suspend Obamacare.
