the man is indefatigable So, THAT is now the criterion by which we measure greatness? ...huge agenda...by the time it's over, 7 years from now, he will be regarded as one of america's' great presidents The problem with this statement is that it is inconsistent with the facts. To date, he has failed on everything he has done. The health care initiative has turned to mush due to over-reaching and arrogance. Even if they DO pass it is such crap the Ds will be destroyed by it. The cap & tax legislation has been heralded as "dead on arrival" even by MSNBC. And it is; it is a huge tax on US citizens for an immeasurable benefit to society even over an extended period. The best foreign policy minds in the country agree that while putting on a great show the man lacks any substance at all. His domestic agenda has a single goal of ridding the country of capitalism, which is unlikely to happen. And finally, HIS NET APPROVAL RATING HAS DROPPED FROM A 60-POINT SPREAD IN JANUARY TO LESS THAN 10 POINTS AS OF YESTERDAY. Nearly a 50 point drop in what, 8 months? He could turn it around like Clinton did but it require him to admit his entire agenda is a failure -- and I don't think he's going to do that. Just don't see it happening.
