Jobs Report and Banks; Countering Terror; Dems Doomed?

Bad news on the employment front. Can the Obama administration survive the negative numbers, on the jobs front and his own job approval ratings? If banks aren't lending, what's a citizen to do? Should the US response to terrorism be military or better police work? Also, Dodd and Dorgan won't run again. Are the Dem's doomed or balanced out by the number of GOP dropouts? Plus, should Geithner resign?

Bad news on the employment front. Can the Obama administration survive the negative numbers, on the jobs front and his own job approval ratings? If banks aren't lending, what's a citizen to do? Arianna advocates moving money into community banks. Tony points out the big banks are not lending because they're being more cautious and trying to build capital -- isn't that what was called for? Terrorism and the US: should the response be military or better police work? And Dodd and Dorgan won't run again – are the Dem's doomed? Or are they balanced out by the number of GOP dropouts? Where are the independents heading? And should Geithner resign?
