Big Days are Coming, About a Mile Wide

Dan Froomkin is back, now at Huffington Post, and he reminds us just what is on deck for Obama. We'll know so much more about our president in the next couple of months than we learned in the first seven.

Either he:

A) bartered some kind of highly-concessionary agreement between the mighty insurance companies that allow him to show a fair amount of glitter to the actual heaps they receive, which will, in effect, make the insurance companies even more invincible, (as Froomkin calls the "community organizer Obama"),

or

B) Obama completely folded and literally botched the entire overhaul effort through a rash of misconceptions, naivete and bipartisan-for-bipartisan's-sake behavior by a band of stooges. At this point, it would be fair to judge the Obama administration as only there to play the fool for any giant conglomerate or corporation that intimidates them or threatens them through former executives that mine the halls of our federal government as presidentially-appointed positions of federal budget power. (As Froomkin calls Obama-as-pushover scenario)

Hard to believe isn't it? It doesn't sound right, and it's not easy to comprehend at all times. But this is what we've come up with. Things could turn on him pretty quick. Looks to be the perfect facilitator to the powerful at times.
