WASHINGTON – A politically shaken White House promised Sunday a sharper focus on jobs and the economy, but key advisers were less sure-footed on health care reform. They took a wait-and-see approach as the dust settles from the punishing loss of the late Edward M. Kennedy's Senate seat.
President Barack Obama's poll numbers are off — primarily because of the slow economic recovery and double-digit unemployment. And a majority of Americans also have turned against health care reform, the president's signature legislative effort that was likely killed with Scott Brown's stunning upset in the special election in Massachusetts.
"The president has always gotten the message," top Obama adviser David Axelrod said. "The message is, we need to grow this economy in a way that allows hardworking people who are meeting their responsibilities to get ahead instead of falling behind."
Axelrod said Americans would learn more about White House plans for the economy on Wednesday when the president delivers his first State of the Union address. The adviser offered no specifics; there has been talk of a second economic stimulus package, one totaling around $175 billion.

Wow, Obama and his politburo are going to focus on jobs! Geez, about time; we have double digit Unemployment (to match Obama's double digit IQ) and now they are going to focus on jobs.
And I love the idea of a second stimulus package. $175 Billion. Wanna bet the "common folk" don't see a single dime? I wonder who's pockets Obama will be lining with this money?
