Dear Barack Obama,
The jobless rate went up yesterday to 6.1% nationally with a loss of 84,000 jobs... Here in California that number is even higher on the whole. Los Angeles for example has an 8.1% unemployment rate and the state is at 7.1%. People are loosing their homes. I sympathize cause I've already lost mine and my wife and I are coming out of bankruptcy.
I watch all the news stations and saw you somewhere out in what appeared to be western Pennsylvania talking about the poor jobs report...What I didn't see was a follow-up in that same excerpt, that same couple of sentences, about how you are going to put America back to work. Please tell us. We want to believe!
As you well know this election is close. It might very well be won on 'sound bites' that those not so close to the news cycle will be following... You must be tired, you look tired...I know I would be if I were you but we've got less than 60 days to win this election. I believe in you and what your team will do to take this country back for the people and what you and your team will do to unite the electorate. Please find the strength within and the energy to get more aggressive on the economy. I grew up in the Pennsylvania Dutch country and lived in the suburbs outside Detroit Michigan as well, two key battleground areas. The people want to believe. You are the candidate of hope and change! Please hit the eonomy harder and lead us all back to greater prosperity.
Sincerely,
A concerned American and a strong believer in you

I am not quite sure whether your blog is stating that YOU don't know what his plan is or that you feel he just needs to do a better job of letting the less informed (which is the vast majority) actually know what his plan is.
I think it is important that he is also including in his speaches on jobs here in America how he feels and what he intends to do with the visa's that corps. are using to be able to hire from out of the country instead of our own well qualified and college grads.
He also includes his higher education plans into his jobs speech and I agree with that----
anyway---just my quick two cents because I could go on forever on this;-)
I also may not have stated in the post but am familiar with his policies, have been following the election closely and am also highly educated so this is not some misconception on my part.
Sen. Obama must do a better job of getting the media to run sound bites of how he will create jobs
jobs are the central issue
in the words of another winning presidential campaign
Its the Economy Stupid!
I am not calling our candidate stupid, that is just the quote
get more sound bites out there that tell how we will create jobs
