Baby steps strategy shift for Obama in 2012 bid
AP reports President Obama scales back aims amid Republican resistance to push smaller, noncontroversial programs and speed up action under the We Can't Wait banner. He says he will pursue on his own or with broad support measures like patent reform and student loan help while pressing Congress on the $447 billion American Jobs Act. The White House notes these steps complement but do not replace full legislative action as Obama campaigns for re election. On Tuesday in California the White House announced a veteran hiring push to enlist 8000 veterans at community health centers over three years, a move to show progress if Congress stalls.
