A more than decent number of balls are floating in President Obama’s air, but only one bears watching. (Yes, bears.)
New (bad) job numbers are out, and the president is touting jobs saved by the stimulus package, back in a purple state, again.
From the White House, on the president’s trip Friday: “The President will deliver remarks at the Columbus Police Graduation Exercises. The 25 Columbus police recruits graduating Friday learned in January that instead of being sworn-in as officers, they would be let go. However, Mayor Michael Coleman announced last week that he would use money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to pay the recruits’ salaries so they could keep their jobs.”
Yes, 25 jobs. Just wait until that new Arby’s opens out on Route 50. . . .
On a policy level, how long before the Wall Street tumble and other awful economic news will force a major re-thinking of the Obama economic strategy? (Can you say, “Stimulus: The Sequel”?)
On a political level, how long can the president muster the public support for his prescriptions, without tangible evidence that they’re working? (Can he get there without buy-in from economic commentators?) (And if he can’t stock his Cabinet, can he fix an economy?) - ABC News
