Reply #47: Why can't he do both at the same time?

:shrug: He's already done the stimulus plan and he's still undoubtedly working on the problem. President Obama actually has a lot of objects in motion right now- financial regulation reform, cap and trade, health care reform, Afghanistan, Gitmo, etc. I'm surprised that Reich doesn't realize this- or that President Obama, unlike his predecessor, can and does actually multi-task. It seems like it's the Democrats whom work hardest whenever they're in office whereas the Republicans like to delegate their duties to their cronies and goof off for most of their terms in office. President Obama, like Clinton, has so far been extremely busy and productive so far. The fruits of his labor may not be instantly felt/observed/noticeable by a lot of people but he is clearly MUCH busier than his predecessor ever was during the entire 8 years he was in office and what he is doing will undoubtedly produce results down the road. Unfortunately, there are no "magic bullets" that will fix everything in a heartbeat but I have no doubt that President Obama and the Democrats in Congress are trying their best.
