President Obama, the American people are still waiting for meaningful results from the grandiose plans you so eloquently and deceptively articulated to the public. However, there is no rhetoric that you can smoothly deliver, nor enough tele-prompters that can fabricate the results you have promised. "All bark and no bite," has ever sounded truer over the past months. Where is the changed you have promised? I'm sharing the sentiments of many Americans when I say "the numbers don't lie.
Why has no one seen you or Vice President Joe Biden at a health care clinic lately touting the new benefits that began to go into effect this month? July marked the beginning of several “goodies” of the new reform law before all the tax hike pain comes later, and yet, very little, if any, national attention was created by your bully pulpit.
The Obama administration is basing the future of its now-tenuous grip on power on pure chance. The White House’s forecasters can’t tell you when the economy will rebound, but when it does, they’re ready to take the credit. On health care, it’s difficult to say if a major new entitlement will slow the rate of inflation and actually cover millions of uninsured, but don’t fret. They have a good feeling about this one. Why? Well, it’s the only option lawmakers haven’t tried. On financial regulatory reform, it’s unclear if the new law will work because Tim Geithner still isn’t sure if Treasury properly diagnosed the 2008 crash.
