Priorities again

On my January 1, 2010 posting I suggested that, had I been President on inauguration day, my highest priorities would have been:

1) Fix the economy as fast as possible
2) Fix the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
3) Deal with the ballooning national debt
4) Deal with the terrorist threat

I see that in the aftermath of the defeat in Massachusetts, Democrats are beginning to realize that perhaps they had their priorities wrong, and that priorities 1, 2, 3 and perhaps 4 are all Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs. To quote a past president, "Its about the economy, stupid!". It's not yet clear that Congress has heard the message, but it sounds like the president's staff is beginning to hear the message.
