Can Obama catch any break?

What a difference a year makes. The country was neck deep in recession and yet everything Obama said was hailed as the second coming. He was a media darling, everybody but the Fox News loved him.

Now he cannot catch a break no matter what he does. He thought making large HMO and healthcare companies the target would make his job easy to get healthcare reform bill passed. But people and media criticized him bullishly and actually siding with those same companies that they praised as villain all these years. It’s a good thing that he is the man with the most power in US and has majority in both houses, he was able to pass the bill.

Then he thought, financial reform should be easier. People know and hate wallstreet and the big CEOs, so he goes to media and now to cooper union criticizing these entities and now the media is against him again, showing the outcry of wallstreet and its broker as the victims not the culprit.

Given that Obama is a politician and he is not a saint, but the guy is trying to do what he believes and what everybody else believed..until last year. Now everybody is agianst him.

Does this remind you of anything else? I guess politics and public outcry is same regardless of the measure of a country’s development. Nepal-US, doesn’t matter.
