He did not ever intend to implement any of the republican ideas. It was just for show.
i don't think that's a fair shake.
take healthcare. what Obama really wanted was to take a baseball bat to the insurers, and set up a single-payer European style plan. with taxation, he wanted a VAT, if i remember correctly. in war, he wanted to pull out very quickly.
all of these policies ended up as compromises with the Republicans, some for better, some for worse.
In your opinion what was the ONE biggest mistake made by President Obama since he took office?
Please don't just say the issue (like the economy, big government, Iran, the border, gay rights, the oil spill, global warming, bailouts, etc.) but say specifically what he did or didn't do to make it what you consider to be his biggest mistake. I suspect liberals/progressives think he at least made one mistake even if it is different than the mistakes non-liberals/progressives mention so I hope everyone weighs in.

The Stimulus
Those are 2 things...but I can't really separate them. Both were idiotic.

The fact I have heard NOTHING from him about what ruf ruf said last night on CNN..Still waiting..Oh wait, I forgot the radicals have laid in waiting for the US to be in the week state it is in, and now we have been given an ultimatum...Thanks Mr. President. DO you think for one minute this douchebag would have said this under any other president, hell even Cater wouldn't have put up with it and he was a douchbag!
Waiting President Obama, will you defend America against this threat? Or tell Americans to bend over?
I'm going with ignoring the polls that showed the American public was not enthusiastic about Obamacare which he made a priority over the issues of unemployment and spending.

The more it became clear that Obama was in, asset classes of all types began to collapse. a deflationary spiral had started
I think he has scared the hell out of the financial industry so much that they will not even provide mortgages.
