With a view to his own President difficult period, used to say his Saturday radio address to direct criticism of the Congress, Americans President Obama, that they "better deserve" issued as "Partisanship and gridlock" in the Government legislative branch.

The rhetoric may have some political logic, as the President give a chance his pulpit to transform itself as aligned with a frustrated public and as ready to lead, if only Congress would it can use.

Last month, media seem comparisons between Obama and Jimmy Carter are multiplied. What do you think of President Carter, the references are to a Presidency that was considered inefficient.

And the comparisons come, as the Obama sagged polls, how America's credit rating of the issuer with made a downgrade by standard & poor's, and how the stock market sharply declined on fears of a possible new recession.

Obama messaging Saturday and in other recent appearances is that the country is strong, but the political system is weak.

Referring to workers he attended at a high-tech-Michigan plant of this week, he said "they are not only shows us a path from the worst recession in generations - they are to prove that this is still a country where we do things, where new ideas root and grow...." "You are prove that even in difficult times, there is no country on Earth, trading places with us would not."

What Washington, he said the answer to economic problems "has been partisanship and gridlock which only undermine public confidence and hinder our efforts to the economy to grow."

"I don't think that it too much for you to expect that the people you send this city start deliver," said Obama. "And if you agree with me - no matter whether you are a Democrat or a Republican, or not much a fan of either - they let know."

The statement against one of the last call to Obama for the Americans its debt ceiling position to support, by to communicate directly with their representatives in Congress.

Such tactics can sometimes make the way a President, go over the heads of the Congress to win support lead. And defender of Obama say that he has shown to compromise greater willingness to to the nation budget problems than the Republicans, who now control the House of representatives.

Republicans would stir not to tax revenues.

But Obama has critics who say that he did not, at a time lead as the nation needs to find a bipartisan way to the tax restructuring from the Center. If gridlock Obama complained that many Americans respond, "We know that the problem is." "We thought that we were send to Washington to help fix it."

The President met with corporate CEOs on Friday, but many companies see as unfriendly to the creation of jobs Obama the regulatory and fiscal policies his oft-repeated goal (is more revenue from the rich garner).

Obama says that he is pitching cross-party ideas for the creation of jobs, including free trade agreements with other Nations and reform of the patent system, could help the spur entrepreneurship. "In the coming weeks, I will present more proposals to rent help our businesses and jobs to create," he said in the Saturday address.

But in the coming weeks, Obama and Republicans can also increasingly in the campaign mode for 2012. Obama Battleground States next week, and his radio address be on a bus tour coincided with a flurry of activity among GOP candidates in the Iowa straw poll.
