“Obama’s team takes pride that he has fulfilled three of the five major promises he laid out as pillars of his “new foundation” in an April 2009 speech at Georgetown University — health care, education reform and financial reregulation.”
“History will judge Obama that the first two years were very productive.”
0bama’s “new foundation” is nothing more than the shifting sand of communism and central planning. His “educational reform” was just cutting out private lending for loans and taking it over as a government enterprise. Health care is set up to drive everyone into government health care.
His first two years were productive, as in productive in destroying the country. Most people would not accept this as successful.
Maybe that’s why 0bama’s not as popular as once thought he was.
Rahm Emanuel cautioned against going full bore on health care, advising to go piecemeal, but he was totally ignored by Obama and Congress. If Obama had listened to Emanuel, he would not be in as dire a predicament. But fortunately, he did not listen.
Can’t blame Emanuel for leaving. Most of his advice the past two years has fallen on deaf ears. Someday he will write a memoir titled, “I Told You So”.
