americans are frustrated with the state of the economy and with the pace of job creation is wholly understandable and reflected in the datathink it's also the case reflected in what you just cited that americans understand that the president is putting forward ideas and proposals that they support that they think makes sense and they know when they've looked into it or heard enough about it, are paid for and for in a way they support which is with regard to the american jobs act asking millionaires and billionaires to pay a little extra so that we can get this economy back on track and growing jobs. so i think that's what that specific citation reflects and i think, you know, americans understand when their number one priority, i think in that same poll, is overwhelmingly jobs and the economy, they understand that congress is not actually acting on the things they care about. last week we had congress passing a measure, you know, the house of representatives led by republicans focusing on the important work of passing a resolution to allow for special coins celebrating baseball hall of fame members. now, that's fine, i'm
