Is the President Working on a Bunch of Issues at once,
Because the more stuff he gets out there, the more difficult for Republicans to attack them all without looking like the Great Big Party of NOPE?

Thus far we have,
The Bankrupcy change for the Foreclosure Act,
Stem Cell,
The new Budget,
Health Care,
....what else?

Just asking....

1. Yes
And what is destroying the Repugs is they mothballed many of the items in your list and they never bothered to come up with solutions to them..well other than cut taxes.

They are screwn!!

2. They will be rendered completely powerless by the end of the year.
I think the people of Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Alabama are looking at their numbskull governors and thinking, what the hell, they care NOTHING about what's happening with me. All politics is local.

3. More accomplished in 6 weeks than his predecessor in 8 years
(Unless you count horrors done to the Constitution and the world as accomplishments. Then Bush kicked butt).

6. It really is mind-boggling! And yet, in every photo, the President embodies calm and collected!

Obama must have been planning his moves for a loooong time!

4. Great observation, Frenchie~
I remember when bushites were in power and they had all these well planned, bad for our Planet, policies cropping up and it was hard for some Dems to keep track of all the pollution.

Even if everything went perfectly for Team Obama the gop would scratch the bottom of their think tank barrel and come up with the whine du jour..so the corporatemedia could broadcast it all over their stenchy airwaves.

And, what else...

<snip>

"THE PRESIDENT'S AGENDA: What's been done, what lies ahead

The Obama team has rolled out policies Bush officials delayed, such as requiring higher energy efficiency from appliances.

Such moves have significant impacts and not just on the environment. They could affect electric bills, gas prices and the time it takes to build highways, dams and bridges.

For now, the decisions are winning plaudits from green groups — "swift and strong leadership," the Natural Resources Defense Council gushed last month — but experts such as Christopher McGrory Klyza of Middlebury College say the Obama team's hard work is only beginning."

5. I like this notion MUCH better than the answer that.....
... "The President is having to deal with a lot of things at once so that's why ________ isn't going just like you'd want it to."

One of the reasons we voted for him is because of his ability to multi-task, unlike the OTHER guy who put the whole world on hold so he could talk about what he might do to fix things.

8. I agree, being out accomplishing "stuff"
gives us the view of a very busy President....which of course, he is.

Thank goodness we put someone in there who's young and vital!

9. Stem Cell is nothing more than signing a piece of paper. No floor debate, no congressional ........
vote, it's nothing more than White House lawyers getting the wording right on an executive order.

This was going to be changed no matter who became president - even McCain said he would overturn the stem cell ban.

It's good strategy and it's good for America.

11. Yep. And that's one thing that * did well, at Rove's and Cheney's
suggestion, of course. The more things you do at one time, the less time the opposition has to attack the individual things you do.
