I agree we're in a mess, but I don't believe it is all Obama's doing. And I agree that he is digging our hole deeper. I would like to see him set aside the issue of health care until later in the Administration. It scares me a bit, because in Washington, things take on a life of their own. When the President says "I want" then everyone gets into a panic about getting it done, and what you get is "a" product, but not necessarily the "best" product that you might get with sufficient debate and thought. The "Abilene Paradox" is alive and well in the government.

This is when I wish we had more balance in the Congress. I think we probably do need to do "something" with health care, but ramrodding something new through for the sake of making a change is not the answer. And even Obama admitted during the press conference that it would be unlikely that 100% of people would be covered. I'd like to think that his staff is paying attention to the polls that say 50% of people don't like what he is doing with health care, but I fear they are not. People get in the WH, and they get more focused on their "legacy" than what makes sense.
