Previewing Tuesday's Economic Speech
Posted by Dan Pfeiffer on December 07, 2009 at 04:00 AM EST

There is no topic the President brings up more in the Oval Office than putting Americans back to work, and this Tuesday the President takes another step as part of his overall effort to jumpstart job growth for Americans

Since taking office, the President has been focused on taking every responsible step he can to contain our financial crisis, stabilize our economy, and get job growth going again.

But we don’t think we have a monopoly on good ideas either which is why we put together a forum last week to bring new voices and new ideas to the table on job creation.

At the forum the President heard from experts from the private sector including small business owners, business leaders, representatives from nonprofits and academics and he even spent some time participating in smaller group discussions on green jobs and infrastructure.

He also kicked off our White House to Main Street Tour in Allentown on Friday where he spent the day visiting a manufacturing plant, having lunch with workers and hearing from local small business owners on how we can work together to help spur job growth.

On Tuesday, the President will outline some key priorities for encouraging businesses to invest and create jobs. This is another stepping stone in a continuous effort to jumpstart job growth. The American people should be assured that until Americans are working again our focus will continue to be job creation.

1. Geez this is getting unrecced. People should be happy he is focusing on Jobs

Seriously all the ideas sound good and what people wanted such as more money to States and infrastructure on and on.

3. You would think. It's a shame the unrec crew doesn't have the "courage" to explain their actions

I put "courage" in quotes because it's thrown around DU while being badly misapplied. It would be common courtesy though to explain your reasoning.

2. Most voters vote with their pocket book

In this Country if you can keep the economy humming you get the prize of being able to set the social issue agenda. So I think it's a good idea to concentrate on jobs and the economy. If this issue isn't resolved there will be no ability to work on others.
