Obama Jobs Plan

I havn't seen the plan yet and don't know if it's good or bad.  However, the most important issue in America today is the economy and getting people back to work!  The Republicans know this so why did they even consider asking the President to delay his anouncement until after their debate?  This just proves they have no interest in the country and the people who put them in office and only want to promote their own agenda.  An now there is concern the it may compete with NFL opening season games.  What is wrong with people?  Is football more important than getting a job?
