The economy is still the dominant topic right now. Today President Obama looked more like candidate Obama from the election. I am not sure if President Obama has learned yet that he cannot count on the GOP to build a bipartisan coalition to resolve the amazing challenges that the U.S. is facing.

Why doesn’t the GOP come out with an alternate plan? People are losing jobs, losing jobs leads to poverty. Only job creation is the answer to stop the rise of unemployment. As the Gbe of Benin say, “Work is the medicine for poverty.”
