Economist magazine is conducting an online debate on whether Obama has failed. The poll as of now is 46% yes and 54% no. I voted no and added the following material. I could have written a lot more but those points have been made by many others.
---------------What I sbumiited =====================================
Of course, Obama has not failed. Look at the shallowness of the criticism against him: he tried to do too much; he is following Bush's policies. Bush had policies! If Bush did, Obama would not be forced to fix things on many fronts. Now,Obama gets blamed for trying too many things. Let me try to make my point by using an analogy. A house in on fire - the fire is on the roof, on the sides, on the windows, doors. To save the house you have to extinguish the fire at every place almost simultaneously. That's what Obama tried to do. But it was not one man's job. Sadly, the onlookers (Congress, Senate) instead of helping him tried to stop him. No wonder, the house is still burning. The health debate is not about doing what is right or wrong, but it simply demonstrates the lack of political power of poor once the election is over.
