... was to be expected. Where Obama went wrong was in thinking that ANYTHING he could do would stop it. In a vain attempt to appease these rabid fools, he has now pissed off the left.

For a master politician he really does seem to be clueless. He must have been asleep throughout the entire Clinton administration to not get what is going on.

The other key error he has made, apparently in the name of appeasing the right, was to not emphasize FROM DAY ONE that the economic debacle was created by republican policies. His feeble attempts to do so now are not going to work THIS HAD TO HAPPEN FROM DAY ONE. Again, for a master politician his missteps are monumental.
