this guy doesn't understand the concept of being overextended, obviously. he has waaaaaaaaaaaay too many irons in the
fire. the federal government just isn't capable of attempting this many things simultaneously without creating a bigger
disaster than it is attempting to resolve.
immediately after the quoted portion of the story, ABC goes on a rambling paean of adoration for BHO . . .
Next Up: President's Major Speech on Iraq Withdrawal
Having crossed off his to-do list "explain to country my economic plan," President Obama will now tackle the country's other nagging problem: When and how to pull out of Iraq.
Final touches for a major speech on Iraq are being completed for delivery in the next few days and will be Obama's second big moment this week after Tuesday's address to a joint session of Congress that was dominated by the economy.
During his Tuesday night speech, Obama said he would "soon announce a way forward in Iraq that leaves Iraq to its people and responsibly ends this war."
ABC News has reported that the president is "trending" towards a timetable of 19 months to remove combat troops from Iraq, a slightly slower rate than the 16 months he promised as a candidate.
Obama is riding a wave of strong poll numbers and was buoyed by dozens of standing ovations from his speech in which he told the country that it has come to a "day of reckoning" on the economy, but would emerge stronger than ever.
The pep talk didn't convince Wall Street, however. The Dow slipped another 150 points in early trading today.
