> The core problem which Obama failed to understand Assumes facts not in evidence. Suppose, for the sake of argument, that you think that Bush intended the likely outcomes of what he did and that you think that Obama is smarter than Bush. Doesn't it follow that Obama intends the likely outcomes of what he does? Note that Obama had a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate and a majority in the house. He still has a majority in the Senate. Given a choice between blaming incompetence and blaming intent, why should I think that Obama is the former?
