Why does President Obama want to implement all at once radical changes in American foreign policy, environmental policy, education, health care and the tax code?
The answer is easy: If he does not achieve these initiatives soon, he never will.
Almost none of Obama's proposed policies any longer enjoy majority support among voters -- and many of them were not clearly outlined to voters during the campaign.
Current polls show more Americans are against than in favor of his version of health-care reform. Nearly seven in 10 are wary of government takeovers of the economy, like the bank and car bailouts. Over half do not want more borrowing and higher deficits.
In response, Obama and the technocrats around him insist they know better than the average voter what is in America's long-term environmental, health, educational and financial interests. So they're rushing to save us from ourselves by planning all sorts of legislation that would change our lifestyles.
Even without popular support for individual policy changes, a still-personally-popular Obama and the Democratic-controlled Congress hope to ram these policies through based on the president's charisma and their legislative majorities.
White House politicos hold up Franklin Delano Roosevelt as their model. He likewise came into office after economic upheaval and spoke with eloquence -- and used both to permanently move American society markedly to the left in ways undreamed of a few years earlier.
Unfortunately for Obama, there is some indication that, despite his constant TV appearances and nonstop interviews, time is running out -- and he may not remain popular long enough to push through his liberal agenda.
Why is he winded?

He must act before the sheeple find out what he is up to.
Maybe he can get his friends in the MSM to make us go away... like they made us ‘invisible’ in the last Presidential campaign.
To hear/see/listen to the MSM, there was not an American voter in the country who wouldn’t vote for ‘O’.
The administration is finding out right now, they can swallow the MSM hype at their own peril.
Yes, Obama... objects in your rear view mirror are REALLY THERE…AND ARE MUCH LARGER than you have been told!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And…NO, we are not going away… this is real world now and not ‘smile for the camera’ campaign dreamland!!
Right. I have been e-mailing calling and writing letters. I no longer feel it is enough. I am heading in to the Lions Den to confront the enemy7 at 6pm tonite. I fell I can not bitch if I do not face them. The Kathy Castor meeting is sponsored by ACORN and SEIU. If that tells you anything.
The end result of all of the obmanation and those protesting his policies is a fissure that cannot be repaired. The Left is very vocal and Brownshirtish (Acorn storm troopers) and will stop at NOTHING to have nobama’s policies enacted. The Right sees their beloved country disappearing and are now very vocal (not violent). If AcornStormTroopers are dispatched to the town hall meetings, I fear a shoving match will ensue and going downhill from there.
