Here's my 27 year old son's response to the article. I like that he's reading my emails, and thinking.

"He makes good points, but he is wrong.

There are thousands of variables (more really) that can affect Obama's plan, and his success or failure is, at most, a good argument for one ideology working in a specific set of circumstances. It is no more a big test of socialism than Italy's failure of socialism was.

If we develop a new energy, or computer technology then the economy will get better and people will love Obama. If Walmart gets caught in a bad business deal and ruins the market the economy will collapse and he will be a bad president.

There have been many other big tests that people have passed and failed and we are still arguing if our ideas are correct.

We are simply not smart enough to understand all the variables, so we cling to what we know to keep the illusion of control and ability. Just my thoughts.
