I think the thing that disappoints me the most about Obama isn't the failure to adequately deal with the staggering problems of our day (you noted a few of those) - but it's the laissez faire approach he has taken to the solutions.
Decorum is really nice - especially after having to watch a ment@.lly repressed frat-boy for 8 years. But there's a time and place for taking folks out to the wood shed to settle scores. Though I know some folks abhor that sort of imagery and cringe at conflict, sometimes you've gotta go to the mat for what you believe in. And maybe I'm wrong for seeing it this way, but if there is no fighting, then there's probably no one leading.
In the meantime what we get from Mr. Reid and some members of the administration is whining and defeatism and surrender. Like you said about FDR, he found ways to get things done. Maybe not the best ways, but he fought hard for progress. With Obama we get, "well, we don't have the 60."
We also have no one on offense here... at all.
