Andrew Malcolm has a piece in today's Los Angeles Times whose title says it all: On Day 938 of his presidency, Obama says he'll have a jobs plan in a month or so The piece is worth reading, but in fact the main point is in the title, and it is right on!
President Obama's major tactical error thus far has been to waste time and political capital on ideological issues dear to liberal hearts (like universal health care), rather than focus from day one on restoring the economy and getting people back to work.
