Obama’s First Year
Recommend on Google+
As President Obama announces his long awaited Afghan strategy, attention is starting to move towards assessing the impact of his first year in office. Too timid on health reform? Is Afghanistan the new Vietnam? Is foreign policy a mess? The right think he’s in trouble, the left think he’s too timid (read this excoriating attack from the First Post’s Alexander Cockburn). But as the debate begins, Obama supporters might take heart from this very upbeat assessment in the online magazine Slate.com. Jacob Weisberg goes so far as to suggest that Obama’s first year is the most successful since Franklin D. Roosevelt’s. Read it and weep - if you’re a Republican - or cheer - if you’re a Democrat. And it’s only Year 1!
