(Reuters) - President Barack Obama has set his New Year's resolution high for 2011: repair the struggling economy.
In his weekly radio and Internet address on Saturday, the vacationing president said recent data showed the economic recovery was gaining traction even as millions of Americans are still out of work.
"Our most important task now is to keep that recovery going," Obama said. "As president, that's my commitment to you: to do everything I can to make sure our economy is growing, creating jobs, and strengthening our middle class. That's my resolution for the coming year."
Unemployment of nearly 10 percent and dissatisfaction with Obama's efforts to spur an economic recovery from the worst recession in decades helped fuel Republican victories in congressional elections in November.
Republicans will control the House of Representatives this year and Democrats will have a smaller majority in the Senate, a new political reality that will affect Obama's ability to push through his policy priorities.

lol....
I personally think that an exorcism should be on his resolution list.
The myth of Government fixing the economy MUST end.
The economy/free market will fix itself when left alone.
What a relief, huh? Thanks NormsRevenge.
Obama? Fix the economy???
I’m laughing so hard, my sides hurt!
The only way he can fix the economy is to get out of the way (resign in disgrace).
He’ll never understand that every single one of his ill-fated programs like ObamaCare and Crap & Trade damage the economy.
Obama on the job. Destroying the country one job at a time.
Bttt
Obama make a resolution. What happens with just about every New Years Resolution made - they are broken immediately within the 30 days of making the resolution. If any believes this resolution will last I have some real estate to sell them right next to Obama’s House in Chicago!
This Manchurian candidate should be impeached as an enemy of our Constitution. Nothing he says should be trusted.
I’d be hitting Zippy’s and King’s Bakery myself.. lip smacking gullet pleasing stuff.. guava cake.. siggghhh..
don’t forget going through the budget line by line and no more pork and bills online for days before a vote, transparency in government...
Oh, but he fixed it, alright. Fixed it real good. Argentinian inflation is right around the corner. Prosperity lies mugged in an alleyway nearby. But, hey, at least we won’t have to worry about global warming for a while.
As in removing a demon from our White House?
In the socialist slug's defense, I would argue that Obama is not one of Satan's minions. The real anti-Christ will be just as evil and hate-filled as Obama, but he will be much smarter and more efficient in his destruction and his grab for power. Satan can find much more capable help than the DNC manages to dig up. The frightening thought is looking at how inept we are at dealing with a minor obstacle in comparison to the real thing that we will some day face.
“strengthening our middle class”
by expanding it with people who used to be upper class?
Trickle Up Poverty since 2009!
He’s going to fix the economy like my vet fixed the cat.
the only way he could help the economy - get the hell outta the way)
