Too Many Issues?

According to the new NBC/WSJ poll, 37% of Americans believe that President Obama is dealing with too many issues. My main question is this: just what issues should he drop? Should he drop economic ones? Maybe he should forget about health care because we all know that’ll fix itself pretty soon. Maybe he can get those pesky foreign governments like Iran & North Korea to behave themselves so he won’t have to handle such little problems.
People tend to have ADD when it comes to reality. We tend to forget what kind of trouble we were & still are in. We may not have that deep forboding feeling we all had in Febuary & March when it felt like the world was caving in but believe me, the problems haven’t gone away. We still have high unemployment. We have a health care system that’s going to bankrupt us. We have a regulatory system that needs serious fixing to prevent the banking crisis from theoretically happening again. The stimulus package money is just now beginning to work its way through the system. We have a swine flu pandemic, which isn’t affecting us as much right now but will once the weather starts turning colder. That’s a lot of plates to spin but you know as well as I do that if he starts dropping problems in favor of others, people will be screaming that he isn’t doing enough.
These are tough times we’re in right now & there are many plates to spin. So far, the president seems to be doing a pretty good job of it.
