The Sunday New York Times: “Saddled with a faltering economic recovery, President Obama is rebuilding the campaign machinery that vaulted him into office, hoping it can overcome the challenges of persistently high unemployment and a fractured coalition of supporters.”
“The federal government has moved from economic ‘recovery mode’ to focusing on ‘standing up’ the private sector to fuel a turnaround, a top White House adviser said Sunday,” The Hill writes.
Today's top story from the New York Times: "President Obama’s national security team is contemplating troop reductions in Afghanistan that would be steeper than those discussed even a few weeks ago, with some officials arguing that such a change is justified by the rising cost of the war and the death of Osama bin Laden, which they called new 'strategic considerations.'"
That said, Politico writes: "A whirlwind tour of three crucial bases shows no signs of the war winding down, or of Americans getting ready to leave following last year’s successful surge."

President Obama, please don't turn your back on Boehner if he is holding a golf club. Boehner is not to be trusted.
I agree he can't be trusted . I keep thinking about situation of jobs in this country why is it soling the put upon the President for the lack of jobs or for that matter why is it put up on the congress. why don't we put it where it really belongs? We give them the big tax breaks so they can hire create jobs and put people back to work . The ones I am referring is the rich. The Republicans keep saying that the rich are ones that provide the jobs is why we need to give them the big tax breaks. Let's ask them where are the jobs . Then when we don't see the jobs then we should take away the tax breaks . Let's stop blaming our elected officials and start blaming the rich people and let them no that if they are not going to provide the jobs then we are going to take away their big tax cuts . We can give them to the small business where most of the jobs are created anyway . Come on President Obama hit the Republicans with this perposal if the rich don't start providing the jobs we will start taxing them more . The rich have got to spend their money. The rich spend their money we all go back to work the economy starts to grow the country gets back on solid ground . Then we can start to balance the budget .
If the Obama administration doesn't begin to create jobs and turn the economic indicators northward and reduce unemployment, he's going to have lot's of time to place golf after 2012. He is really vulnerable if the economy stays stagnant.
Who is going to do a better job . none that is running is going to do a better job and you no it . there is not a Republican alive that is qualified to do a better job than President Obama. If you no one then tell me one ?
The democrats did not focus on jobs immediately, and paid the price, the republicans got the nod and are making the same mistake, only worse they are lowering what little purchasing power people had left. They are going to pay the same price, if they don't get some movement. Congress is running out of time, and people are running out of everything. But don't be surprised if Obama is the last man standing after 2012, because the longer Congress plays their games, the less people blame him, and they are not going to replace him with any current republican presidential candidate
