What do you think will be biggest pitfall for the Obama Presidency?

[TheCoxwain]

I think there is a real minefield for Obama to negotiate - We can already hear rumblings of war drums on either side .. I am trying to pick some of the potential quick-sand puddles for the Obama Presidency


i.e. which of the following will cause the biggest backlash. This could probably be a manufactured backlash (courtesy RW Nutjobs) -- or Leftie backlash for not acting as per its wishes

[HereSince1628]

1. No Money n/t

[phantom power]

2. Health care.

For whatever reason, the GOP gets a lot of traction out of the "ZOMG! It's socialism!" meme. And the current health care system has a lot to lose, and is obviously very very rich, so they can throw tons of money into fighting socialized health care.

3. The biggest potential pitfall is the potential for schism

between progressive Dems and Blue Dog/DLC Dems.

4. RATpublican Slur Machine

[Enthusiast]

5. The greatest pitfall is

the one Republicans used against The Clinton Administration. A media that will fake outrage at manufactured nonsense about Obama. They have already started, in case you haven't noticed. "Obama is taking our guns away! Spending will increase under Obama! How will we ever pay for all of Obama's new spending?" Just watch the miserable Lou Dobbs to see what I mean. This is why media reform is of paramount importance.

6. backstabbing dems who are more DINO than dem nt

7. Other. Ignoring the party faithful is the only possible pitfall. If he tries to do the right

things by the people and voting democrats, he won't have a problem, even if he fails.
