From “day one” I have been saying that President Obama is making the best out of a very bad situation that he inherited. I have read many pundits who point out that when the Republican are in power their “MO” is to completely ignore the best interests of the country and the planet and literally rape the country and the planet to lavish obscene profits and spoils upon the very wealthy and corporations. Because this irresponsible course is no more than a giant Ponzi scheme, it is always inevitable that the whole thing will come crashing down. The anger and frustration of the people who lose everything in the Ponzi scheme results in Democrats getting elected. But then the Republicans try to blame all of the misfortune on the new leader, and even if most of the people don’t buy it, the leader still faces a giant pile of manure in his oval office. He has a choice of trying to shovel it all out immediately (by definition impossible) or shoveling out enough of it to clear off his desk and a workspace around it so that he can enact laws and strategies that will allow him to eventually bring a bulldozer in to clean it all out.
That choice, and the President’s facing of it is well described in this article from the Washington Post.
