'Working on it'

Obama's team has only one answer: we're working on it

I have to say I agree it is a bit early to be too critical, and 'we're working on it' does seem to be reasonable and even quite honest in the circumstances.

I just hope that they are, and the work proves of value.

Otherwise it may just go down in history as a US version of another joke phrase uttered a tad too often, and now to great, if bitter hilarity outside of parts of Westminster and BBC studios in the latter half of the last decade: 'I'm just getting on with the job'.

Many tend to think in response: 'Then, on current evidence, I really wish you'd stop'.
