"Obama focused on Healthcare instead of Jobs"

Paul Krugman has an excellent point about this.

Whenever a Republican says that, they must be asked what it is Obama should have done.

What do they suggest Obama should have DONE in order to focus on jobs.

Since their answer is "more tax cuts for the rich" it is a question worth asking.

If republicans hadn't been obstructionists more could have been done on jobs. Their rhetoric isn't to be taken seriously.

That's why the chart looks like this -

Otherwise, it would have been negative.

Plus there are jobs coming related TO healthcare.

Why do Dems continue to buy in to the rethug lies and memes?

are you smokin!! Every jobs bill has been bottled up by the Repuks. You haven't been paying attention. Look around,even California is seeing a big time rebound in jobs. The only states that are not seeing improvements are states with Repuk run state houses. What a miss leading post.
