The President has to pick the ones he feels he can win, which are mainly terrorism and taxes. He has stolen the dems favorites right out from under them. Unfortunately, the welfare state has been around so many decades, it will take time to convince the electorate they can stand on their own two feet. We can not expect changes overnight, which Americans seem to expect. Solutions may take years. The dems favorite president outside Clinton, Kennedy, said the people get the government they deserve.

Perhaps...............

Changes overnight? I agree, hard to do, but it appears that the majority party in our nation lacks the will and the leadership to even address fixing the domestic problems.

That, I suspect, is the "big rub" with most who are less than satisfyed.
