Right ... that's the other thing he said recently, that he might have to put off implementing his economic plan because it might have a negative effect on the economy ...

Should the next President have an economic plan that he thinks might make the economy worse?

What was the question being asked and the context of the two quotes?

At various times in the last couple months, I've said:

My top priority is getting users of the application I'm writing something mocked and, ultimately, useless, so they can test the user-interface.

That doesn't change that my longer-term top priority is to get them an application that's useful to them. Or that my top priority in a different context is to do everything I can to ensure the continued success of the company I work for. And none of that takes away from my ultimate top-priority of taking care of my family.

But what I describe as my "top priority" changes with the context and the specific question I'm answering.

Seems that, right now, yeah, a candidates "top priority" would be winning the election -- since if they don't do that, none of their other priorities really matter.
