Thanks for the comment, empi. I have had mixed reactions from my friends on this one; some, like you, think I am being a little harsh, others are in line with what I'm saying.

I would be crazy to expect Obama to solve such a complex issue as healthcare while juggling two inherited wars, but at the same time I have been less than impressed with the actions of his administration thus far, and in my opinion they should have fought much harder than they did (if you can call what the did fighting) for the public option. Lay ups like repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell have gone neglected, while one of Obama's most promising projects (closing Gitmo) has stalled.

Do I think Obama can do it? Absolutely, but like I said in the post, he's going to have to get on it, because this is not the 1990s anymore.

I still have high hopes for our President. I thin...

I still have high hopes for our President. I think you are being a bit hard on him. He has a huge plate with huge problems, bigger than any President since FDR. It has been 10-l/2 months and too many dems are expecting too much. Give him a chance. He is a man of high integrity. He is literally putting his life on the line for us.

Hang in there Kane. You sound like a very smart guy. Give Obama some slack.
