The miscalculations of President Obama

I have always believed President Obama was pragmatic man. Although he has an agenda that is much more ambitious than that of most other Presidents, he realizes that some of it simply will not get accomplished. That’s not to say he has not tried and will not try again, but he understands he may be limited in what he can push through Congress. From listening to his speeches and statements in the past few weeks, I believe his main concern right now is the healthcare reform
