What happened?

News (Dec. 3, 2009). President Obama says he heard “terrific ideas” from the nation’s top corporate executives, economists and union leaders at a White House forum Thursday designed to find ways to put unemployed Americans back to work.

“Digging ourselves out of this hole will not be easy, “ Obama told the estimated 130 participants in closing remarks. “Generating the kind of economic growth that leads to the kind of hiring that gets our employee base back to where it was will be hard and will take a lot of work.”

My point. It sounded like a great idea. What happened? After a year in Washington, our leaders seem to be worried about many other projects. We have a "Haiti" in our hands here at home. But we seem to be worried about bonuses and finding new ways to raise taxes. As I said, I am confused.
