President Obama can talk about having no grand schemes and making no big gains, but the reality is he can't get anything of significance through Congress.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Obama has demonstrated no desire to make tough choices. Americans demand a more efficient, effective government, but his budget calls for more taxes and more spending. It employs deceptive accounting gimmicks but does nothing to tackle long-term entitlement problems, nothing to save Medicare or fix Social Security.
To get anything done, Obama has to be seen as having winning economy - which isn't easy.
The President didn't offer any clarity in his latest speech about what he would do to tackle our nation's debt before it tackles us and it's still not clear how he'll keep Medicare from going bankrupt. One thing is clear though, Barack Obama isn't interested in governing or putting forward solutions to fix our nation's problems.
If Mr. Obama wants to get things done, he must recognize that in Washington only the president has the power to make the first big move.
Obama, for all his brilliance, has no real, felt understanding of management structures or of business.
When President Obama speaks about raising taxes on the rich, he speaks about high-income employees and small business owners, not entrepreneurs who build big businesses.
Obama's presidency hasn't been dedicated to achieving economic growth in the short term, or about creating jobs.
Obama seems to want to do something to damage rich people.
If President Obama has his way, you won't recognize the government, the free market system, or, frankly, America as you once knew it. His admonitions and his audacious policy goals demonstrate very clear motives: equalize, discourage dissent, and become a nation of apologists.
In general President Obama's policies have been very, very skewed and very, very extreme. Like on healthcare for example, I don't think that trying to ram healthcare through was a smart idea politically, because he wasted a lot of capital and now he doesn't have any of that same capital with even his own party that he used to have.
