What's clear is that Democratic Party messaging is woefully inadequate

[Martin Eden]

56. Here's a message: ***Pass the AMERICAN JOBS ACT***

If Barack Obama is not elected to a 2nd term as President, it will be because his opponents have succefully laid the blame for our economic woes at his doorstep.

It is true that Obama turned the crashing economy he inherited into one of modest growth, and that Republicans in Congress have purposely obstructed economic recovery to enhance their own electoral prospects, but those facts and that argument don't seem to work as the primary message in this campaign.

However, ***Pass the AMERICAN JOBS ACT*** is a clear, positive message that does two things:
1) It shows that this president has a solid plan for improving our economy.
2) It shows that Republicans are standing in the way of it.

Keep hammering home the message ***Pass the AMERICAN JOBS ACT*** and focus will shift to the merits of this plan versus the failure of Republican trickle-down economics. The fact that they have been obstructing economic recovery will then be obvious.

The message ***Pass the AMERICAN JOBS ACT*** should also help the Democratic Party win back Congress as a necessary step to economic recovery.
