Obama to Focus on Jobs?

As the State of the Union approaches, many people are wondering what President Obama is going to say regarding the country spiraling sharply out of control. The chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, Senator Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, says that Obama should focus his address on one major thing: jobs. He believes that when jobs are increased and bettered, the people of American will actually feel that something is getting done, and that government is not just in some kind of stalemate. Jobs are the first thing Alexander believes the president should work on, followed by the debt and terrorism. The middle of these focuses actually makes quite a bit of sense: if the United States is about to spend a great sum of money on some kind of health care plan in the near future, it seems that the president should first work on the national debt, so that people don't think the government is losing control of itself (which many people already think). If Obama creates jobs and lowers the debt in some way before the health care bill passes, many more people will be on the bandwagon of success, and will therefore support the health care plan. This seems to be one of the only plans for the success of Obama's speech tomorrow night. The link to the article is here.
