President Obama was in Wisconsin on Wednesday for a town hall meeting. He made it sound like politics as usual by blaming the Republicans for not backing his plans to regulate the financial sector.
The president is right to seek reform for the financial sector--something Republican are fighting.
Republicans are the opposing party, and have every right to fight the president's plans for reform; even though they really haven't come up with a plan of their own to help fix the problem.
Republicans don't seem to grasp the idea that they need to act on job creation, and not play politics with the president. They like to use the deficit as a reason for not acting, but under Bush they didn't mind a large deficit in the budget.
The reality is jobs aren't being created at the rate to help the economy, and yesterday's job numbers showed that 125,000 jobs were lost in June, but 83,000 private sector jobs were added.
If jobs aren't added soon enough there is a chance that the recession won't go away.
