The type of presidential campaign I'd like to see - focused on jobs and the economy: Amateur Hour at the White House - WSJ.com

Amateur Hour at the White House - WSJ.com

It would be interesting to see some candidate for President - any candidate - spend all their time talking about restoring the economy.

What would this mean to me?

For starters, any day there is news about some anti-business, anti-economic policy being pursued by Obama (take the SEC this week and its prosecution based on negligence).

There are clearly those from the Obama administration and the general population who don't want solutions for the economy itself, they want 'to blame' someone else for the problem; or, to first ensure that the socialist benefits of liberal programs are protected (i.e. why not raise taxes on the very people who create jobs? That can't be a problem! Warren Buffet's in favor of it, right?).

Every day, a preferred candidate would start their stump speech with something that needs to be changed and is holding back the economy (this would not include taxing oil companies or preventing Boeing from opening a factory in the South. It clearly might include things to equalize the taxes businesses would pay in the US vs. another country.)
