Obama taking populist tone in fight over jobs
By CHARLES BABINGTON and JENNIFER LOVEN, Associated Press Writers 1 hr 29 mins ago
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is shifting his administration's emphasis to battling unemployment, the scourge that is hurting households nationwide and threatening to inflict heavy losses on Democrats in November's elections.
In the process, he and his allies in Congress intend to force Republicans, through a series of upcoming votes, to choose between Wall Street's high fliers and Main Street's middle-class workers. With Democrats struggling to deliver on big promises such as overhauling health care, they hope their increasingly populist tone _coupled with Republican resistance to Democrats' budget-cutting proposals_ will prevent wavering voters from drifting to the GOP.
The White House has pushed a job-creation agenda for months. But it wasn't supposed to reign as the top priority until Democrats achieved their much-touted health care revisions.
That trouble-plagued campaign still drags on, however, leaving Obama little choice but to make it clear that creating jobs is his chief concern.
The shift in focus is not necessarily a death knell for the health care push. House and Senate Democratic leaders are trying to persuade colleagues to pass the contentious package despite fierce GOP opposition and polls that show substantial public dislike.
For now, at least, the legislative leaders seem content for Obama to remain fairly quiet while they work behind closed doors. If they can move the health care package close to the finish line in the next few weeks, they may call on him to buttonhole enough lawmakers for a final push.
That gives Obama leeway to focus heavily on trying to whittle down the nation's 10 percent unemployment rate. In Wednesday's State of the Union address, he declared, "Jobs must be our No. 1 focus in 2010." On Friday he rolled out details of a $33 billion, one-year tax incentive plan to encourage more hiring.
Underscoring the administration's concern, Obama's top economic adviser said Saturday that while the U.S. economy is recovering, job losses remain painfully high.
"What we're seeing in the United States, and perhaps in some other places, is a statistical recovery and a human recession," Lawrence Summers, director of the White House National Economic Council, told a panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
White House senior adviser David Axelrod said in an interview that the administration also hopes Congress will approve a new stimulus bill in the next couple of weeks. The other most immediate priorities, he said, are votes on a bailout fee on big banks and a financial reform package, including a new consumer finance agency.
Congressional Republicans have opposed these and other proposals, saying Obama wants to slap stifling regulations on the nation's still-struggling financial sector.
Some Democrats view the GOP stance as a policy and political miscalculation.
White House officials and Democratic lawmakers described a strategy to put Republicans on the spot by scheduling regular votes on jobs, financial regulation and other matters that fall in line with the Democrats' populist message.
The strategy is meant to put Republicans in a box. They can vote with Democrats on items such as imposing a fee on big banks that received public bailout money. Or they can oppose such measures and risk being painted as protectors of big banks and stock traders rather than working-class Americans.
Many congressional Republicans, riding high after their stunning victory in the Jan. 19 Massachusetts Senate race, think the Democrats' strategy won't work. They appear almost united in their willingness to oppose Democrats on numerous measures that arguably might appeal to the public, calling them irresponsible, unworkable or overly intrusive.
Senate Republicans recently helped kill a proposed bipartisan commission meant to reduce the deficit, even though some originally had embraced it.
They also unanimously opposed an increase in the allowable level of federal borrowing. The measure, which Democrats passed on a party-line vote, includes requirements that the government pay up front for many new programs rather than finance them through borrowing. Republicans say the pay-as-you-go plan encourages higher taxes.
Many House Republicans, meanwhile, criticized Obama's call Friday for a $5,000 tax credit for each new worker hired this year, capped at $500,000 per employer. They said previous efforts proved ineffective.
Obama himself hinted at the strategy in a recent interview with Time magazine.
"It'll be interesting to see how some, who have tried to exploit legitimate anger at the big banks this year by trying to put it on us, are going to position themselves — whether in fact they're going to want to protect all these financial institutions from the regulations that will prevent the kind of disaster that we've seen over the past couple of years," Obama said.
"They're going to have to vote yea or nay, aren't they?" the reporter said.
"Right," said the president.
Both parties have made some nods at bipartisanship in recent days. But chances for meaningful accords before the November elections seem remote.
Obama and House Republicans engaged in a freewheeling exchange Friday in Baltimore, but the most energetic portions involved each side sharply defending its positions and pointedly criticizing the others'.
House GOP leader John Boehner of Ohio thanked Obama for coming. A short time later he issued a lengthy, point-by-point rebuttal of the president's comments, under the headline, "President Obama repeats discredited talking points during dialogue with House GOP."

Can I sue rivals for hiring illegal immigrants?
A contractor suspects he's losing jobs to competitors that undercut pricing by relying on illicit labor.
By Adriana Gardella
February 5 2008: 11:49 AM EST
(FORTUNE Small Business) -- Dear FSB: I recently read one of your stories that hit home ("Blowing the Whistle on Illegal Immigrants," January 2007 ). I'm a contractor who loses half of all residential jobs to firms that hire illegal laborers. They pay them less than I pay my workers and save on taxes plus all the types of insurance I must maintain as a law-abiding business owner. How can I pursue a lawsuit against my competition?
-Name Withheld
Dear reader: Right now, you've got a suspicion - which may be well founded - that you're losing business because of your competitors' shady hiring practices. But to clear the first hurdles in a lawsuit, you'll need to show a link between your losses and a rival's employment of illegal labor, says David Klehm, a Santa Ana, Calif., lawyer who specializes in this area of the law.
"You can't just sue someone because they hire illegals," he says.
The best way to prove damages is to demonstrate that you and your scofflaw competitor bid on the same job, and that you lost out because your estimate was higher. As a residential contractor, you'll have a tougher time showing that. When you're dealing with homeowners, there's less likely to be a paper trail of bids. So you'll need to get the homeowners involved - ask why they chose the other guy.
"Very few attorneys have handled this type of case," says Klehm. "The book is still being written on how to prosecute these claims using state unfair-competition and tort statutes."
Your best bet is to find a good business attorney. Possible places to find referrals: your city, county, and state bar associations. You might also visit illegalemployers.org, a network of law firms (including Klehm's) and other organizations tackling this problem.

OBAMA’S REAL JOBS PLAN: THE LA RAZA “THE RACE” AMNESTY FOR 38 MILLION.
UNEMPLOYMENT IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH! WAGES ARE NOT LOW ENOUGH! BANKSTERS’ PROFITS ARE NOT HIGH ENOUGH! MEXICAN CRIME NOT HIGH ENOUGH!
THE LA RAZA DEMS- SELLING US OUT IS ALL THEY DO!
Rep. Gutierrez Introduces Amnesty Legislation
Call your Representatives and SAY NO to Amnesty!
This week, long-time amnesty advocate Congressman Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) is introducing a massive amnesty bill in the U.S. House of Representatives. According to various news sources, the bill will grant amnesty to the 11-12 million illegal aliens in the U.S.; dramatically increase legal immigration; include the AgJobs amnesty for illegal alien farm workers; and, through the DREAM Act amnesty, authorize in-state college tuition for illegal aliens.
The unveiling of this legislation is considered to be the opening move in the latest battle to enact “comprehensive” immigration reform, one that the White House has promised to support. “Everything’s going very well. Full steam ahead,” Gutierrez said about today’s unveiling of his bill. (Roll Call, Dec. 12, 2009) “We’ve said that this bill will be to immigration what the public option was to health care. It will be progressive, it will be expansive, it will be compassionate and it will be comprehensive.” (Id.)
Battle lines on Capitol Hill are being drawn and we need your help! Please make two phone calls today: one to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (202-225-0100) and the other to your U.S. Representative. Tell them:
• Our immigration system is badly broken and you want it fixed.
• Illegal aliens and foreign guest workers take jobs from Americans and drive down wages in an economy that is already suffering the worst unemployment in decades.
• You want our immigration laws enforced not mass amnesty.
• Amnesty violates the rule of law and is fundamentally unfair to those who come legally.
• Amnesty will cost taxpayers billions and billions of dollars—a price tag we can’t afford.
• Amnesty threatens our national security as it will be impossible Homeland Security to thoroughly check the millions of applications that will swamp government agencies.
• Increasing legal immigration—when all new arrivals will need jobs—makes no sense when the nation is suffering record unemployment.
We need to send a forceful message to Capitol Hill TODAY that the American people oppose destructive immigration policies that grant amnesty to illegal aliens and bring in more foreign workers.
Call your Representatives TODAY! To find your Representative's phone numbers, click here.
You can also fax your Member of Congress! and tell them you oppose the Gutierrez bill.
When you’re done, please reach out to your family and friends and ask them to call/fax too.
Stay tuned to FAIR for more information on the Gutierrez amnesty legislation.
