Ideologically, m. Obama is what we are supposed want in a president - a strong individual with strong views who will attempt to do what he got elected to do as opposed to what HE personally wants.
Healthcare is now being criticized for being not enough (it isn't) and for having taken precedent over more "important" matters such as the economy. But, a practical man or women will attempt to get what she can get while the getting is good. HC was a significant factor in his getting elected and it was attainable at the time that he pursued it - it would be less so later.
He is not only a practical man but a practical politician, which is to say, a practical game player. USC will do what it can to front load its season with cupcakes to refine its game before the hard work begins. and it pads their record. Obama has some marks in the win column.
ultimately now, unfortunately, his success is going to be determined by his getting reelected. policy and practice are going to be directed to that end, ideology will have to wait for a second term. so... get people employed and pursue those objectives that support that, such as green energy and tax rate adjustment.
no, i did not get the firebrand i expected but i never really expect to get what i expect. i DID get an honorable, capable , caring and very intelligent man. I am pretty satisfied with that.
