Obama to give up on health reform: is this the begining of the end?

The expectations about Obama were obviously impossible to fulfill, even for Superman. But the balance after one year is rather mixed, and in my opinion somehow disappointing.

Today's not the time to go into detail, but at least I would like to address the headlines I have read this weekend in El Pais: according to them, Obama gave up on the health reform to focus on the economic problems of the USA. Apparently, this is the result of a long year of battles against the Republicans, followed by the recent Massachusets Senate loss.

I hope Obama will find new forces in order to continue implementing his electoral program, from which the health reform is certainly a highlight. But I admit there is already a long series of signs suggesting that the Obama deception was, maybe, more than a tendentious movie.

  1. And another thing, another theory that would spring to mind would be that of absolute manipulation of american resources.
    This is a country of elitist economists. They've seen this collapse coming, and they have prepared to reap its benefits so long as they remain its foremost agents of manipulation. America has the resources, and it will prosper. But the concentration of this prosperity will remain in the hands of such men that have precipitated this turn of events, and have the blueprint ready for the next bend in the road.
