Poll question: Which of these crises should President Obama address first?
Never in our lifetimes has a leader been handed such a mess as the one that has been dumped into the lap of Barack Obama. Which should he address first?

6. They aren't talking about sending out stimulus checks
From what I read, its mainly $150 billion on green technology job creation, and an un-named amount on infrastructure and state incentives.

Stop bringing in the Milton Friedman Chicago School of Economics economists and Goldman Sachs failed officers to fix our tanking economy. Our economy is destroyed already and we need FDR type fixes.

9. Do you mean "save" the manufacturing base, or "return" it?
We don't have a manufacturing based economy. :shrug: I'd take a stimulus check, though. Bush's check didn't stimulate me enough. :D

13. A President can multitask. The economy with a 2nd to Iraq
I don't necessarily agree with your choices. It seems like a push poll.

16. economy is the first priority, followed by a review of executive orders
as the latter can be done quickly. And of course, he can multitask, but that would be my priority

"Save the manufacturing base of our country and prevent a Depression." That starts with helping the US auto companies which I think will have to wait until Obama becomes president before they get a bailout.

19. The depression is probably unstoppable at this point. We will need a recovery approach.
