We don't have time to wait for President Bush to change his mind. How many breakthroughs have been missed as a result of this policy?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
President Obama seems completely unaware of how many of the policies he is trying to impose have been tried before, in many times and places around the world, and have failed time and again.
We are still waiting for the president to introduce a concrete plan. He has just hinted at what he is thinking about doing, but no one has seen a proposal.
I think that President Obama is beginning to realize that a lot of his plans have backfired.
There are a lot of issues that I hope we deal with at some point that we haven't up to now, for various reasons. Some technical, and some more political.
President Obama's 100-day plan is pretty impressive. I think it's a Wow 100-plus days. The administration is not operating from fear, it is trying to drive change for the future, and that's a good thing.
If we continue to cut something with each resolution, I would say we're making steady progress and sending a strong conservative message.
It's probably fair to say that Obama's ideas were too big for America's appetite. It would have been nice had he made a few incremental repairs to the economy and left the transformative events for a less stressful time.
I wonder how many times people give up just before a breakthrough - when they are on the very brink of success.
If we have learned nothing else from the 20th century, we should at least have grasped that the more perfect the answer, the more terrifying its consequences. Incremental improvements upon unsatisfactory circumstances are the best that we can hope for, and probably all we should seek.
This strategy represents our policy for all time. Until it's changed.
