WASHINGTON President Barack Obama is considering all options to create jobs, including another stimulus package, while trying to pull the economy out of a deep recession and deal with a record deficit, White House advisers said Sunday.
...
"You've got this huge national deficit and we've got to do what we can to bring that down. At the same time, it's important to stimulate the economy," Jarrett said. "Let's wait and see. Let's let the recovery bill do its job."
Unemployment stands at 9.8 percent, with more than 4 million jobs lost this year. The deficit has reached $1.4 trillion and the national debt $11.9 trillion.

“Let’s wait and see. Let’s let the recovery bill do its job.”
1) This is an admission that it hasn’t worked.
2) It’s pretty late in the season to be saying “let’s wait and see.”

Try getting your damn fingers out of my wallet. Try NOT nationalising medical care. Try a reduction in taxes on capital gains, reducing corporate taxes and dropping the cap and tax scam.

Is he considering getting government off the backs of
business owners? Or is that too radical for him?

"Everything is on the table" is code for "we aren't bound by our promises," and/or "tax increases are coming."
