wasted his political capital on health care. What he got out of this was a law that never even attempts to address the heart of the problem, which is cost, cost cost. He got a little on access and coverage, which is fine,but does not address the main issue. He showed that he lacked a spine, and it has severely damaged his "clout". If he would have made a stand over health care, and won, it could be different. But he didn't.

 

The US is in serious trouble.

Look, I get what everyone is saying. What I am asking though, is who Obama really is? Do we know, and if so, how do we know? I agree with a lot of what has been posted here. But I don't get how things got to here. Isn't there anyone here who can play this game (with apologies to Casey Stengel)?
