It has so little to do with the obstructionist tactics of the GOP.democommiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714733977927594559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5099635.post-10860525808217243452009-08-30T08:04:45.321-04:002009-08-30T08:04:45.321-04:00Two huge mistakes:

I'm in a household with a major illness. Query a world without private insurance or crap like we have: All the saved premiums and realistic fees: Are we really saving money with our coverage? In our case, you're talking about thirty years of premiums. If it all went into savings or conservative investments, would we have been better off than what we have? (Yes, Obama's epic failure with this has turned me into something of a Rockefeller Republican.)<br /><br />Second, there's a teeny difference between Obama and FDR. Obama is working hard to bring back the speculation bubble and avoid any reform of the financial sector. In seven months, there's been no substantive correction or "reform" of the corrupted system that got us here. Suffice to say, FDR was the opposite. Obama doesn't even rise to the level of Herbert Hoover, that's how reform-oriented he is. When the reality hits that we're perfectly on track for a W-shaped recession. And a Republican president elected in 2012, you, too, will say Thank you, Barack Obama.
