Quote:I voted average. I think Obama was handed a very bad situation when he took office: two unfunded wars and the worst recession since 1929. It's hard to make chicken salad out of chicken [BAD WORD REMOVED].


Where he made his biggest mistake was right off the bat, doing healthcare on a party line vote. A change that big must have a bipartisan consensus to work.

It was a republican plan to begin with. As soon as Obama got on board, they couldn't even consider it. He was naive to think the republicans would actually work with their president but it was a move that would have brought some people from across the aisle together...and of course fix a terribly broken healthcare system and bring healthcare coverage to the millions and millions of the previously uninsured/unisurable.
