It says that Obama should only focus on this narrow view of the economy and he shouldn't mind anything else. It's just ignorant to think Obama shouldn't approach the economy without thinking about the aspects that affect the economy, such as healthcare and energy. The economy touches everything and everything touches the economy. It all needs to be dealt with at once.
What's Obama got all those staffers for?
Republicans are behaving like cowards and I, for one, am getting tired of hearing what they have to say. Can't we hear from Olympia Snowe, or Susan Collins? Even Bobby Jindal is better than Shelby, Cantor, Rush and Boehner. They're always politicking, jockeying for power.
What Obama has, that others lack, is vision. Obama has prioritized and everything is at the top of the list.
CNN: "Why are we going and distracting ourselves from the economy? This is job No. 1. Let's focus on what needs to be done," Rep. Eric Cantor, the Republican whip in the House of Representatives, told CNN's "State of the Union."
Obama's move, scheduled for Monday morning, is part of a broader effort to separate science and politics and "restore scientific integrity in governmental decision-making," White House domestic policy adviser Melody Barnes said Sunday. The Bush administration's 2001 policy bars federal funding for research on embryonic stem cells beyond the cell lines that existed at the time.
Cantor, R-Virginia, has been among the leaders of GOP opposition to Obama's economic policies.
