I'm losing track-is Obama doing too much too soon or not enough?
I heard Juan Williams on NPR the other day saying that Obama isn't pressing on global warming enough (a day before China agreed to get involved*) and then today I read in NY Times that Obama is TOO focused on healthcare.....um the talking point for the last 6 months has been "Is Obama doing too much too quickly?" this basic question was asked repeatedly on Fox News, Morning Joke, and all the Sunday talk shows


*BTW the other talking point WAS that "China and India will never come on board" I haven't heard any mention of that in the last 24 hours, have you?

6. President Obama

has an overextended agenda which he has rapidly exhausted in doing too few things too slowly. His stimulous was way too large and fell short of what was needed. He has gone to too many countries and talked with too few allies and others. In trying to have his administration review too many policies of the Bush administration he hasn't focused on the small number of policies that he hasn't gotten to.

He appears on too many channels and gotten too technical instead of appearing on all channels and giving specific answers. He has raised the health care issue to too high a profile instead of going under the radar and bringing it out in such a way that he could focus the entire nation on it all at the same time in some depth.
