Dan Thomasson writes that a better staff might have saved Obama
...from some of his own inclinations, namely the expenditure of an inordinate amount of political capital on reforming health care. The ambitious plan took a year of obsessive campaigning at the expense of serious efforts to deal with the nation's declining economic condition manifested mainly in joblessness.
Well, yes. If Obama hadn't undertaken a de facto gutting of the bill of rights through health care reform — which also slammed the brakes on economic growth — he might be more popular today.
