Empty promises

President Obama, the American people are still waiting for meaningful results
from the grandiose plans you so eloquently and deceptively articulated to the
public. However, there is no rhetoric that you can smoothly deliver, nor enough
teleprompters that can fabricate the results you have promised. “All bark
and no bite” has never sounded truer than over the past months. Where is
the changed you have promised? I’m sharing the sentiments of many Americans
when I say the numbers don’t lie.

Why has no one seen you or Vice President Joe Biden at a healthcare
clinic lately touting the new benefits that began to go into effect this month?
July marked the beginning of several “goodies” of the new reform law before all
the tax-hike pain comes later, and yet, very little, if any, national attention
was created by your bully pulpit.

The Obama administration is basing the future of its now-tenuous grip on
power on pure chance. The White House’s forecasters can’t tell you when the
economy will rebound, but when it does, they’re ready to take the credit. On healthcare,
it’s difficult to say if a major new entitlement will slow the rate of
inflation and actually cover millions of uninsured, but don’t fret. They have a
good feeling about this one. Why? Well, it’s the only option lawmakers haven’t
tried. On financial regulatory reform, it’s unclear if the new law will work
because Tim Geithner still isn’t sure if Treasury properly diagnosed the 2008
crash.
