When BO was voted into office, we had a financial system in disarray and skyrocketing unemployment. People were crying for jobs. And what did he make the centerpiece of his first four years?
A jobs program, like one might expect?
No. Healthcare reform. And not some new, interesting healthcare reform. ****ty, warmed-over Republican-response-to-Hillarycare-in-199x healthcare reform.
So does it make sense that BO would once again be completely misguided and tackle and issue not at the top of many people's lists? Why the hell not? And one that Clinton dealt with back in the mid-nineties? Even
more perfect, given BO's track record.
I understand how people don't want a leader who follows the changing winds or wtf ever, but a leader that barely pays attention to the crisis gripping the nation is just, well, misguided. Funneling even more money to banks by continuing Bush's bailout policy, yeah, ok, I guess that sorta counts as something.
