The Iowa caucuses less than 13 months away. Republicians are jocking for position, speaking to groups and taking pot shots at one another. state and federal government added 590,000 jobs since January 2008. Tha BIG picture remains as understanding the Americans want Washington Politicians to solve big problems by finding common ground. President Obama came to office expressing admiration for Ronald Regan and Franklin Roosevelt because of their ability to achieve change on a grand scale from the White House.
Obama has the right tools to deliver, but will the Republicans seek to cut some deals or will they intensify political gridlock on fiscal issues putting more of the burden for managing growth on the Federal Reserve.
Perhaps Americans are expecting tax policy change with balance from both sides. Americans believe in President Obama being focus and confidence in Democrats ability to counter any Republican effort to roll back the legislation.
The recession began in December 2007. The economy is projected to grow at 3 percent rate and unemployment is projected to be 8.7 percent, Pleasing more voters with getting back on the right track with a two term election win for President Obama. Americans expect forward movement with President Obama as the driver in 2011.

Not to mention, Banks are required to make quarterly, divided payments to the Treasury Department in exchange for taking aid from the Troubled Assets Relief Pragram which bailed out banks to help them weather the financial crisis of 2008 and 2009. TARP, launched by George W. Bush Administration, has been a source of mostly good news. The largest banks have paid back tens of billions of dollars, in aid, with interest is sitting well with 2012 voters once again. President Obama is working harder daily to keep America moving forward and tax payers really appreciate every effort geard towards progress in their households daily.

Put down the crack pipe, Americans have a growing distain of your wonder boy, who isn't the first black president, he's half white but that part of him will be your get away card when he continues to choke and you need to save face!! Unemployment was projected, by your anointed one, to be below 8%, it's about 15% here in california, all those projection by your guy have failed miserably!!, and continue to do so! The only thing Americans expect is more muslim above christain crap, he's is a joke and a liar!! But there is a light shining on you....his obamacare will pay for your crack addiction, good luck and wake up, America has been put in harms way!!

Lets face the facts.. Obama has kept his promises to the American people and YES we do love and support him.
"Obama and Biden promise to work to secure Russia's agreement to extend essential monitoring and verification provisions START 1 Treaty before it expires in December 2009"
Lets just say Obama is a Hard working honest American who is a CHRISTIAN and love people.
Yes, Obama does in deed care for the American people and the proof is in the pudding everytime he goes to WORK and BAT for the American People. I am sure the auto workers are very pleased with him.
Unemployment is an issue and more people are juggling incomes daily. The BEST is yet to come!! We welcome Obama in 2011 with open arms.

Obama can and will get the JOB done in California as we all seek common ground. THE man Mr. President Obama is a great leader with excellent listening skills perhaps Cali should reach out and join the team and help America move forward in 2011.

Ok sand box mike, where is the inner genius in the republicans? Will social security be strengthen as a priority ensuring social security benefits aren't cut to reduce the deficit protecting Americans 50 and up from utility rate, increases lowering prescription costs and expanding job opportunities for the older workers and combating age discrimination?
Maybe some new laws reduces the subsidies medicare paying private insurance companies to treat medicare advantage parties. The question remains...how do insurance companies know how to react to change to prevent taking away guaranteed benefits and what is the result for the american people?

Social Security helps millions of Americans stay above poverty line. Franklin d. Rooservelt signed the Social Security Act calling it " a law that will take care of human needs" this coverage has provided a safety net for retired and disable workers. Once again where is the inner genius among most republicans at capital hill. Americans want progress to continue and their VOICES heard at the hill. Obama can and will continue to get the job done in 2011.

Looking forward to 2011 because 2011 should be excellent news for equipment makers, manufacturers and technology.
Perhaps Wallstreet's theme depends on the economy knowing the year is likely to better for earnings, balance sheets and growth which likely translate into higher home prices, more loans and an increase in employment.
President Obama is focused and truly cares about the welfare of the American people. He shows concern for the victims of the 911 2001 attacks, National Security which is not wasteful funding.

On the other hand, Atty. Gen Eric Holder appears to be a target for controversy because he presides over issuesthat have served as recurrent fodder for political controversy.

The country wants to see USA Congress act in a timely fashion to move issues forward to progress as mature adults and take care of business at hand. The American people are watching and listening closely to leaders and also watching their actions to move forward and increase growth abroad.
Will congress take care of business or will they stall progress and allow the American people to wait for aggressive progress? It appears the President of the USA is trying and working harder to resolve issues across the board while the American people watch him work endless hours to adjust employment rates and balance the budget.
Saving the USA economy requires focus and Obama has what it takes to stay on the right path to recovery with all Americans in mind.

As trustees for the American people, Congress must honor our legal obligation to do what is right for our families and workers.

Seniors are choosing work over a life of leisure contributing to society while feeding the economy, too. Keeping our most seasoned workers in play is good for America.
Americans trust USA congress to solve the American families problems. Americans know the Health Care reform and Wall Street reform increased leverage for America's working families. We hope the USA Congress act accordingly in the eyes of the people. The American people also know President Obama keeps his promises.

Are you on his pay roll? Obama is going to need about 50 million more of you in 2012..enjoy

Obama has got a lot of stuff done considering that Republicans filibustered most every piece of legislation he's proposed.

How could the Rebubs have done anything...they didn't have the Freakin numbers to stop anything....check out your recent history before spewing out left wing B.S....the Dems had the majority in the Senate, and Congress, how on earth did the Rebubs filibuster anything?....

What about Guamtanomo(sorry really don't know the true spelling)? He said he was going to close it, shut it down. What happened to that promise? He said he would allow 5 days for all of America to review bills before he approved them..what happened to that promise? He said his office would be the most transparent of any before him. What happened to that promise? Obama is a puppet, like all the rest before and after him....

Dems had 58 seats while Repub. had 42. it takes sixty to stop a filibuster vote. maybe you should check your facts.

You know it he is so stupid.

Exactly my freakin point....lets do some math shall we...it takes 60 votes to filibuster....Repubs had 42....60-42=18...the Repubs were 18 votes short...once again, how on earth did the Repubs filibuster anything?....don't get mad at the Repubs, get mad at the Dems who chose wisely, and went with the Repubs....I myself am glad for any Dems switching over to the DARK SIDE...enjoy

OH, he is moving America forward all right...right over the edge of the cliff!

Ha!:)

Any senator can filibuster. So if a republican decided to filibuster, and the dems only had 58 seats, then a republican could filibuster without stoppage, correct? or am i missing something? It takes sixty to stop a filibuster.

But did the Dems get all 58 votes, or did some switch to the other side?
