WASHINGTON (March 6, 2010)--President Barack Obama is making a furious, final push to win passage of a sweeping health care reform bill, but the effort threatens to shove aside what he promised would top his to-do list this year; creating jobs.

As Mr. Obama himself put it this week, from now until Congress takes a final vote on a health care overhaul, "I will do everything in my power to make the case for reform."

He has a shrinking window to find enough votes among Democrats to pass health care legislation so he can free himself to spend more time working on ways to create jobs and bolster the economy.

Polls show the economy remains a bigger personal worry to people than the cost, access and coverage problems associated with the health care system.

There is a very simple and easy way to create jobs and stimulate the economy-level the playing field by putting the same tariffs on chinee imports as other countries are required to pay. I guess that would make sense so it won't happen, as Washington is only worried about cents.

Why is it the media thinks that the President can do only one thing at a time. Why can't he do both, the average American citizen has to be able to multi-task why can't Goverment.
