Quote(President Barack Obama and the Democrats head into the summer campaign season with the economy slowing, unemployment flirting with double-digits — and few options for a quick fix.)

IMO (albeit an uneducated one) I would suggest that there is actually one action that might turn the opinion polls around to be somewhat slightly receptive of Obama, he, Obama could reduce Government size?
But I guess to suggest such to a Democrat would be anathema!

Yeah, because the answer to reduce taxes on the wealthy so corporations can hire more cheap foreign workers. That'll really pick up our economy.

And this shows why Democrats/Liberals can never figure out the economy.

Because regardless of how they style themselves they are basically Democrats.
Example: Rick Perry Governor of Texas, originally joined the Democratic party, when he saw which way the wind was blowing, he switched to being 'at least publicly' a Republican.
But still supports Democratic ideas.

Obama should follow the Reagan model. Large spending and tax cuts.


Oh wait...

sadly we are on the left side of the income tax laffer curve (though we are about to shift over the border on the capital gains tax). a far better program would be tax simplification (as well as keeping the Bush Tax cuts on capital gains) combined with a competitive reduction in the corporate income tax so that we are on par (at least; if not superior) to the rest of the OECD. combined with a severe reduction in government spending and killing for sure the EPA's move to regulate CO2.
