About Obama, one has to keep in mind the big picture, just like he does.
Fix our energy/climate change problem, by moving us away from foreign fossil fuels toward clean domestic sources. Reverse the outsourcing and downsizing of our manufacturing base. Fix health care, by expanding coverage while restraining costs. Be more a leader for cooperation and peace around the world. Reach a Middle East Peace. Get out of Iraq. Isolate and destroy Islamic Radicalism, while at the same time winning the hearts of reasonable Muslims world-wide. Deal with an embittered Russia.
If he has an economy that has simply stopped functioning, none of this will be achievable. And of course, all of this assumes that the federal government can solve these problems, which is quite a debatable proposition, to put it mildly.
If he can accomplish even a couple of those goals, there should be a new monument in his honor erected on the Washington Mall!
In any case, let's give him the benefit of the doubt on all the little stuff, shall we, like staffing his Cabinet and White House.
