I suspect we are seeing the 2012 campaign beginning to take shape, and the President is going to try to be the one who defines the issue.
If, as polling suggests, the US electorate's top concern has shifted from the deficit to unemployment, then the President seems to be positioning himself to be the person who can stand up and say, "I'm the one that's trying to get jobs created."
Unemployment is at 10 percent. Which means that 90 percent of people are employed. So, most people don't really care.
And, as Dick Cheney astutely declared, "Deficits don't matter."
