What grade would you give President Barack Obama for 2013? If it's an "A" you'll really enjoy the thoughtful and detailed blog article by my friend Steve over on the peripateticblogger.com
Sadly I can't agree with Steve. My reply is printed below:
Whoa! I'm shocked to say the least. It's one thing to be an Obama supporter and a strong and unyielding supporter of the Liberal agenda, it's quite another to give Obama any marks for success.
His signature accomplishment, The poorly named Affordable Care Act (to which he contributed absolutely nothing beyond overblown sales hucksterism) should be an F---. The program will leave more people uninsured than ever before, will destroy the middle class (who will carry the financial weight of the program) and will quickly collapse into dust. Unfortunately it may also destroy the actual health care system as it collapses. Let us hope that doesn't happen.
Over the next four years it will be largely replaced. Unfortunately the program is so tainted it might result in a rebound toward the Republican models rather than the single payer plan we all originally envisioned. It certainly will cost Democrats control of the Senate in 2014.
Barack Obama is ill suited to be President and has been proven unable to accomplish the job. None of this had to happen. It was all avoidable and a more able politician and manager could have given us the Affordable Health Care Act we all desired and deserved.
