I think that all points stated above are well thought out and well stated.

My question: Since Obama is sliding out on the limb on so many issues, do you think it wise for him to refer to everything as “his”. For example, “my budget”, my plan”, my Secretary of the Treasury”. It seems that every speech he reads contains,”I,I,I” and “me, me, me”, and “mine, mine, mine”. Does he not grasp that he occupies a Constitutional office? He seems to think that it is all about him. If his plans fail (and I suspect that many are going to)what then does he say? That these plans were concocted by “staff”? It seems that his staff was the scapegoat for every gaffe on the campaign trail.
