"The White House said it may rethink its strategy for selling Obama’s agenda as it presses ahead with its priorities, including not only healthcare but job creation, climate change and financial regulatory reform."

"Senate loss will bolster Obama’s resolve on jobs, The loss of a key Democratic Senate seat will likely strengthen the resolve of President Barack Obama to press ahead urgently with a package of targeted proposals to spur U.S. job creation."
You’d think curing unemployment/economy would be the first thing Obama should of taken on, not only is it a higher priority, but it would be immensely useful for increasing his own popularity (assuming it was successful) and would be able to use that popularity to pass other items later on down the line. The fact that this adim waited till they lost some power to get back to the real issues (I’m assuming that’s what is going to happen) is telegraphing a very destructive message to voters, that the only way to reign them in is to vote them out, and we have seen in recent admins where this trend leads to.
Now that the focus in on the economy and on jobs, and we can assume there will be higher yields of co-operation, at the fighting will be over a goal we both want acomplish "a better economy". Anyways, I wish Obama luck in regards to restoring the economy, even though I know we are going to disagree on the means.
Alright, what are your thoughts on the election and how it effects/effected Obama? Do you think the prediction on the focus is incorrect? What are your thoughts on the articles?
And thank you for your time

Obama is a Keynesian, which means whether you like it or not, he believes government should get invovled, he hasn’t done much besides the stim, which means economy/unemployment is not a top priority.
i think that the loss will cause him to show a little more humility and rethink some of his proposals but i dont know how it will turn out. if he does decide to turn his focus back to unemployment in america, it will take a lot of campaigning and detailed descriptions of everything he attempts to push through to help.
since his stimulus packages monumental failure to produce any substantial numbers of job recovery i dont know how much trust he will be able to bolster up from the american people and other members of the senate to take another run at it. And you can say that his stimulus package takes time and make as many excuses as you want but it has already been proven that the white house officials are usin any numbers they can to make the stimulus package look like it is saving jobs. (link at bottom is one of many i can give for inflated numbers of jobs saved) and now they are even changing the way that jobs are counted as being "saved" so that any job that money touches even if it is a 1 dollar raise for a job that wasnt in trouble counts as that job being saved.
so i really dont know how much this helped or how obama will react but hopefully if he does decide to return to the problem of unemployment he will take his time and turn to things that might actually help save jobs on the scale that they suggest instead of ramming an inflated bill through as soon as they possible can.

Obama’s plan was to guarantee banks’ credit lines with the stimulus bill to keep their credit lines open so that American small businesses can keep their doors open. The capitalist philosophy is to allow the free market to fix itself. Doing anything more proactive to stimulate job growth has earned the Obama administration accusations of socialist behavior.
So which is it, wait for capitalism to work or beome more socialist to force job growth?

Obama can do nothing when he crazy lady Pelosi and Racist Reid running ramshod and ignoring him and the will of the people pushing through this bill no one wants….

They will see what Obama can do now. I don’t think the Republicans can fix the Economy.

I seriously doubt it will do anything for unemployment/the economy one way or the other. I don’t think Coakley would have either. Don’t think it really matters. But make of it what you will depending on your political persuasion.
