Obama should be asking the country to give him the Congress back so he can get the deficit under

control by getting rid of the Bush tax cuts and protect the middle class from Republican's. We have momentum right now and we need to make the case more than ever that Republican's are blocking every jobs bill and nothing will get done if Republican's control both the Senate and the Congress.

NO sense of urgency re: our crappy economy. something like 350,000 people dropped out
of their job search in August-- they totally gave up.

prior to taking their (paid) FIVE week vacation, congress sat around naming post offices.

weak, very weak.

the fact nobody seems to know/care 90% of congress needs to be fired is more than astonishing
to me.

They made sure the unemployment got worse to score political points. They have no business being part of the government. Vote them out and you'll see the recovery shift gears".
