Should Obama announce some new initiatives?

[Hoverbored123]

From a political standpoint, these are pretty reasonable ideas, but I don't think Obama's likely to do anything along those lines.  Come to think of it, is congress in session?  I assume they're adjourned for the campaign season. 

Re-visiting the health care law doesn't seem likely.  Obama already got pretty much what he wanted from the law, so he has very little reason to want to change it. 

A jobs bill might boost his standing in the polls, but it won't help him all that much overall.  For better or for worse, the timing of it would make it look like a re-election ploy, even if he was already in favor of it long before.  Also, the actual jobs numbers (along with other economic indicators) will probably be more decisive. 

Addressing the "fiscal cliff" is probably the most effective and most likely thing for him to do.  But there's a catch: there's little reason to think the House and Senate can reach anything resembling an agreement before the election.  If he convenes congress to address it and nothing gets done, it could backfire on him by making him look desperate and ineffective.
