Most people desperately want the legislation he proposed in his state of the union address. One bill, one reasonable simple thing.
He said this mid-way, but I hope it's soon:
"End tax breaks and subsidies to companies that export jobs."
Tax breaks and subsidies are supposed to be "Corporate Welfare" alright, but in a way that justifies it by keeping Americans employed, not moving a job overseas where while the wage is slave labor the bribery, piracy, cost of transport and such make it a loss, then demand money to make a profit.
With the exception of "Nader", no president or candidate has even dared talk about it. Obama did it on the way in, now he's doing it while he's in.
I'd love to see the Republicans try to crush it, and they'd be ordered to by the big corporations! They'd look like such vermin, and rightly so.

Because he's the one who did the grandstanding and made it an issue. |

Not the only one. He did get a lot for his vote, though. |

Pointless. We don't have the Senate votes to pass it. Why bother? |

Not at all pointless. I, for one, would very much like the ayes and nays on the record. |
