How about this maroon focus on BRINGING BACK AMERICAN JOBS.
To heck with increasing benefits, for people without jobs.
Bring back JOBS.

A few more of these ‘summers of recovery’ and am certain the hole to climb out of will be deeper than middle earth.

Extended unemployment benefits and higher minimum wages will not do a damn thing to help the economy. I don't know if he knows that or not, but he doesn't care. He wants the Republicans to block these plans so that he can gin up support in the low-information community against the GOP. It's an election strategy that has nothing to do with economics.

The renewed focus on the economy comes on the heels of new figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, released Friday, that suggested the U.S. is rebounding after a tough winter. In March, 192,000 jobs were added and the unemployment rate remained at 6.7 percent.Yeah, and a smouldering pile of embers suggests that a house fire has been extinguished, too. A large share of these created jobs were part time (thanks, Obamacare). A rebounding economy should have 300,000 to 350,000 new jobs a month at a minimum.

I guess that means “Recovery Summer 6” is on its way!
Like the first five movies in the series, it will be a flop.

"Populist pitch"??
First, so-called "progressives," by their own intrusive and burdensome policies, create a situation where economic recovery is slowed and people are hurting.
Then, they design a "populist pitch" prior to the 2014 election which, they think, will appeal to those who may not understand the implications of raising the minimum wage, but who are hurting and feeling the consequences of current and previous failed "progressive" policies, in order to win elections and continue their "transformation" of America from a place of freedom and opportunity to one based on Old World ideas of tyranny and oppression by political elites!
Now, that's "progressive," isn't it?
Meanwhile, those who spout such nonsense live in opulent style, as they "rule" over their victims.

They’re trying to shift the focus off ObamaCare but they’re trying to reshift the focus on another area were they are vulnerable in this election year?
Who is advising them

They are trying to find a way to blame Republicans for their own failure. Page one of the Democrat playbook.

Actually he took a few months off to focus on foreign policy. Just like a kid in a play pin, he tired of that toy and is now moving onto another. His focusing on a problem is the equal of someone with a magnifying glass focusing sunlight onto a bug. After he cinders it, he moves on to another with equal results.

And probably not going to work. Obamacare isn’t just a concept, anymore. People can see it and the chaos it brings
