Economy still the major issue for President Obama

Here's the dividend for Republicans in working relentlessly to sabotage the economy for the entirety of President Obama's first term: a shaky economy and tough polling. From Washington Post/ABC News:

WaPo/ABC Poll on the economy With unemployment still high, homeowners still underwater and facing foreclosure, and ongoing financial uncertainty and insecurity, it's not surprising that the nation is pretty ambivalent on Obama's performance on the economy. But what's also important to keep in mind, and for Obama to keep talking about, is the fact that Republicans have blocked all of his attempts to get the economy moving since they agreed to the stimulus.

Republicans put politics over the country every time for the past three and a half years, and Obama needs to be ruthlessly partisan in pointing that out. This needs to be the face of the GOP for the next six months:

Mitch McConnell: "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president."
