Okay, he actually didn't say his administration, he said "Washington", but technically his administration is part of Washington. Also technically his administration has focused on things other than the economy, some of which I had to do (i.e. national security, the war on terror).

But in other times it seems fair to say that the Administration did focus on other things like healthcare (though perhaps that could be economy related), the temporary moratorium on oil drilling after the BP oil spill (I guess you could argue that spills damage the economy, but you could also say the moratorium damaged the economy because people who worked on the rigs were out of work and oil companies lost revenue), the HHS mandate and other things.
