Mr. President, please don’t get well soon.
From the opinion polls to the depressed state of the stock markets to growing contempt of our enemies (and friends) around the world to the stunning lack of new ideas for getting out of our current economic predicament to the apparent impending failure of your signature universal healthcare initiative, it has become obvious even to members of your own party that you are in over your head.

That first paragragh ought to be read out loud by every Repub candidate for president.
There are many problems today that would be solved with the application of old ideas that are time tested and as true now as they were when they were first formulated. Most progressives don't like those ideas because they generally start with personal responsibility and the consequences that go with it.
Obama is over his head, no doubt.
So what are Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi using for an excuse?
What are the Democrats who voted for Obamacare using for an excuse.
Spot on post..thanks.

Warren Harding figured it out in 1920...
Congress and the Executive Branch have lots to do.
So far they’re not doin’ it right..
Its been done before..
Harding cut the government’s budget nearly in half between 1920 and 1922. The rest of Harding’s approach was equally laissez-faire. Tax rates were slashed for all income groups. The national debt was reduced by one-third. The Federal Reserve’s activity, moreover, was hardly noticeable. As one economic historian puts it, “Despite the severity of the contraction, the Fed did not move to use its powers to turn the money supply around and fight the contraction.” 2 By the late summer of 1921, signs of recovery were already visible. The following year, unemployment was back down to 6.7 percent and was only 2.4 percent by 1923.

BTW..ole Warren ALSO fixed immigration...
Mr. Harding signed into law the Emergency Quota Act[3] which sought to control immigration following World War I and preserve the distinctive American culture by ensuring the majority of immigrants came from the historically compatible cultures of Northern Europe. This law aimed to bring wages of hard working Americans under control by limiting immigration to 3% of the 1910 census. It was followed on by a similar act in 1924, after Mr. Harding’s death.[4]
A Warren Harding prescription...if filled ...would ignite the afterburners on the US job machine and the economy. However DC would have to yield on a tremendous amount of power. Our job as We the People...is to persuade them of the “utility” ..shall we say..of doing so. In all probability the same minds that made the mess...aren’t capable of the solution however.
BTW any takers that ‘Bammy couldn’t even tell you that Warren Harding was one of his predecessors in office?
Even more telling about what our betters in the RinoCracy think of a Constitutional President..

But don’t you know? Warren Harding was a dummy. I know, I saw references to his mental and moral deficiencies in my books while I was in college.
Gee, I wonder why those authors thought so.
