The more I think of it, the more it seems Obama has landed in the driver's seat after the car has already gone over the cliff.

I see him less as a "fix things" president than a "pick up the pieces" president.

I find it hard to blame him for something that was at least 20 years in the making.

There is only so much one man can do in one country with such a global problem. (The U.S. economy is 18 - 25% of the world economy.)

It's better than doing nothing; it's better than starting another war.

It's still too early to tell anything.
