'No Child Left Behind,' Gulf Coast revitalization, immigration on back burner

“I’ve got a lot on my plate, and it’s very important for us to sequence these big initiatives in a way where they don’t all just crash at the same time,” the president said in response to a reporter’s question.

Obama is learning the

realities of running a

country. It is easy to

talk about change and to

make promises to enact

big programs but even a

president must make choices,

set priorities, and compromise.

What did we expect? No experience as a senator. No work experience. It is a very long list. He has actually used his color in an evil way...as a narcissist he does not care about anyone but his grandizement. Elitist just like the other politicians. Maybe we have 20% in office that are struggling against all the souless ego's they work with.. I hope the democrats and the republicans melt away and we have two new honest parties.

Who knows what we are going to have to witness.
