Of course I would However, even Obama would admit that he messed up leaving it up to Congress to put together a plan.

It's a balancing act, right...

If you control it too tightly and try to shove the whole thing on your own, you become Hillary Clinton II and everybody bitches you out for trying to unilaterally cram stuff down their throats without getting buy-in from anyone, even on your own side...

If you control it too loosely and let your party run with it, then everybody bitches you out for not being a bold leader and letting everyone else stick their pork in it or whatever...

When it comes to major, controversial proposals, it is very difficult to "win" at that time in the court of public opinion.

ya it sounds like he is losing the balancing act though..

Everyone has lost their confidence in their governements.. It is plain and simple. They don't believe they are working for them anymore and the pitchforks are shortly down the road.
