no. not the two toughest years since the Great Depression. (economically, yes)
for me to take you seriously, you have to offer an honest critique of yourself and your work
Obama wants it both ways (a little): we will bring massive change (but it will take some time and there are big challenges so be patient with us). problems in DC are systemic. you can't make sweeping changes with the system close to what it is. you just get the same results eventually (Contract with America eventually sold out, etc)
however, i tend to agree that the economy has been stabilized for a comparatively small price (if his numbers are right. i'm sure every Libertarian has a different story)
such a partisan audience, it's crazy
'is government nimble enough to handle these 21st century crises?' now that is a GREAT question.
Filibuster reform is surely needed.

Obama's dilemma is that he over promised early on (during campaigning). He was mostly convincing, as a result of his public speaking abilities.
Then he under delivered...There was no real health care reform,
we are still in two
questionable (expensive) wars, bank reform was weak, and the economy remains in a funk (which would probably have been the case no matter what he had done in the time frame.)
Nevertheless, significant progress in any one of these issues would have made a huge difference in the mid terms. (My opinion only.)
thanks, Jim.
i think the biggest help for the midterms would have been lower unemployment. probably would have eclipsed everything else...
