Have you noticed every issue Obama uses his "laser like" focus on? - Ted - 02-28-2013 05:29 AM
Has been social issues? Gay marriage, illegal immigrants, gun bans, forced health insurance, doing away with work requirements for welfare. Why is there no talk on the economy, our record deficits, dwindling job markets from anyone in the media? Under Bush, we had daily reports on how the 6% unemployment rate was unacceptable, yet not a peep about our current crisis.

Lord Obongo has "not rested" his entire Presidency because of unemployment. Miraculously, he is still alive.

If would be great if he did that to the budget instead of avoiding it.

This was what Obama always planned to do. The bad economy is just getting in the way of his social agenda. So he ignores it.

Yes and none deal with this failing economy when will be start to be a leader and address the real issues of this country.

He wouldn't want to focus on real issues that will bring his approval rating down.
He jumps on the most popular viewpoint and runs with it. We truly are a nation divided on almost every single real and social issue.

Yes, thank you for noticing that too. He is trying to take the focus off the economy and focus on other stuff.

That's the public media event Obama.
The behind the scenes Obama does this:

Congress passes bill to extend federal borrowing authority and avert default; Obama to sign
Jan 31, 2013
'Congress has approved must-do legislation to permit the government to borrow hundreds of billions of dollars more to meet its obligations, averting a first-ever government default that had loomed as early as mid-February.
'The 64-34 vote in the Senate on Thursday sends the measure to President Barack Obama, who has said he will sign it into law.
'The legislation would temporarily suspend the $16.4 trillion limit on federal borrowing. Experts say that would allow the government to borrow about $450 billion to meet interest payments and obligations like Social Security benefits and government salaries.
'Calculations by a Washington-based think-tank , the Bipartisan Policy Center, indicate that the deadline for Congress to act again to prevent default would likely not come until August.
'The Republican-controlled House passed the legislation last week.'
Obama just signed that into law.
Yes, he is doing something about the economy. He is wrecking it.

He needs to use his "lasar-like" focus on what happens when he pisses off 100 million people that have guns!
