He's been a good President. Not a Great President.
The record speaks for itself.
The reason it is going to be so easy for the President is because of both his record as well as the incredibly weak opponent that the Republicans nominated.
I will say this though, the Electoral College is the only reason that the Democrats are able to win Presidential elections. If it were a straight popular vote; there would be no President Obama.
Actually given the scope of the financial calamity..he's been a great President.
It's just not something that going to be understood by most people for a good amount of time.
SEE: Clinton.
Yes and you honestly feel--be honest--
that the #1 priority was Healthcare given that financial turd left by Bush?
I liked the health care act too but it wasn't the #1 problem facing the nation.
Now that being said, I think the President looked at it this way: Financial reform can be done by reasoning with people--best idea wins. Healthcare takes a leap of faith and he had the votes for it. I can see where he looked at the landscape and decided to go with healthcare first as a problem solver. But he should have looked at the #1 problem and went with the economy and got something done there.
Exactly what? Well, thats what he, the Fed, the Secretary of the Treasury, Budget Director and Secretary of Commerce get paid for.
