LOL, sorry to baffle you. I won't dig through everything I've taken in to provide you with the answers you need. I'm sorry. I'm going based on remarks in speeches early in his presidency. He was struggling with the fact that he had to tow the Democrat line when really he wanted to slap around some big biz. He wasn't allowed to. But he knows what is up.

I have noticed in the last few days of news paper scanning that insurance companies are vying for the position of offering insurance reforms required by the healthcare bill even if it is repealed. Pretty impressive gains from insurance in my view, though I still see health insurance as the problem, not the solution. And for the record, the insurance mandate was not his idea in the least, that was a Republican insertion.

His offensiveness is subjective. He hasn't offended me yet. How does he offend you?

...Likewise, your cognitive dissonance is entirely your own.

I trust that the solutions he offers publicly are only a small (and not necessarily representative) fraction of what is really going on. Anything he attempts to do publicly will be attacked and obstructed (guaranteed), so he must accomplish his best work far from media or political attention.
