Just how far up the scale is gitmo compared to the economy? Do you not expect Obama to prioritize accordingly? What would you think if he spent much more time on gitmo and foreign relations at the cost of letting the economy collapse?

It hasn't been on jobs... that's for sure.
It hasn't been with the banks, because they are still doing what their doing and then some. I don't believe the DOW since it was manipulated before you believe it's not being manipulated again? With no oversight or no reforms, just the bankers being good because they want to?
It hasn't been on National Security because some asshole tried to blow up an airliner on Christmas day.
I seem to recall:
January 22, 2009 - so he's got a 2 more days to hit that target.

Obama Signs Executive Order To Close Guantanamo Bay
The Obama administration called on Thursday for the closure of Guantanamo Bay within the next year. The move will be greeted with widespread approval around the world, the end of a blotch on America's image abroad. Coming in the form of an executive order, it carries with it the power of law.

The economy was in the shitter before he signed that, it was still in the shitter while he focused on healthcare reform.
He's done little to nothing but talk about shovel ready jobs...
