A two-pronged attack will be very effective:
Prong 1: We the Democratic Party will invest in infrastructure, education and reform. These things work to create jobs. (Then lay out hard statistics on how many jobs were created by infrastructure spending under the last five or six Democratic presidents.)
Prong 2: The Republican Party's strategy of austerity will cost jobs. (Then lay out hard statistics on job losses in every country that has tried austerity...which will confirm Einstein's assertion that insanity is doing the same thing twice and expecting different results.)
Once Obama has ridden the Jobs Train to reelection, he can look at medical marijuana.
Let me ask a serious question: which is better here, to wait until after the election and then reschedule marijuana to Schedule III, or to reschedule it now, let Romney win the election after running "school baked sale" attack ads, and watch it get reset to Schedule I on January 20? (And trust me on this: that fuckhead would bring the executive order reinstating weed on Schedule I to the inaugural with him and sign it there.)
