Obama calls on Congress to quickly pass his 'American Jobs Act' - CNN

Jobs act...doesnt do enough. Has a couple good things, but he really hasnt pushed enough and sold it. Talk of stimulus and raising taxes on the rich is what I hear alot of. The raising tax on the wealthy (which I do support) does zero for jobs, like another round of stimulus.

Simpson and Bowles commision had alot good stuff in it, Obama and the congress ignored it.

Our nation tax code needs to be over hauled big time, this is a move with support on both sides and Bernanke and the Fed agree as well. Obama coulda really made an impact if he woulda at least pushed considerations from Simpson and Bowles debt commision and took an active approach at tax reform. Obama sat on his hands too much for me with his approach on the economy and our country's debt.
