Allowing him the benefit of any doubt...and assume everything he proposed is passed as proposed...and works as proposed...with benefits raining down on those intended as proposed...

why didn't he do it a year ago?

why didn't he do it when the dems had both houses of congress?

Now the doubt! Because it is time to start campaigning. That is exactly the speech making tone he used when he was wooing the followers during his stump/promise speeches of 2008. I do not believe the same folks will buy the same smoke again.

And when he says it will be 100% paid for....doesn't that have a familiar ring? Sounds exactly like when he said his health care plan was not going to add "one single dime to the deficit"?

What he has earned and going for/against him are the promises and proposed solutions too many times before with no end result.

Yes and this one has the usual Obama urgency....pass this bill right away...just how many times did he say it last night?

Conclusion (for me anyway)...same-oh-same-oh Obama approach...

My measure of him and anybody else in charge....promises kept VS promises made...enough said!!!
