What success in the White House?

In an article written by Kimberley Strassel, About That Financial Reform "Victory," of The Wall Street Journal, she discusses the significant American's disapproval with the White House and the Obama Administration. She has been writing for the Wall Street Journal since 1996 and graduated from Princeton in 1994 studying Public Policy, (Wiki, 2010). Strassel's intended audience might very well be the majority population of the country, who no longer have faith in the current Administration, to own up to false guarantees and misleading politics.

Strassel states, "(the White House) just launched a new campaign to convince Americans that its stimulus bill- which it promised would keep unemployment below 8%, is working. It's the same White House struggling to explain why health-care costs continue to rise, and benefits continue to disappear, after grandly promising that it would stop all that." This explains why people are getting frustrated with Obama directly hurting the economy and free-enterprise. Small-businesses are struggling to keep up with heavier regulation and added government expenses. People are paying the price for government interfering with health care and in turn, costs are increasingly rising. The unemployment rate is over 1% more than promised by Obama.

Somehow, the Obama Administration is trying to tell America it is pro-business, pro-healthcare, pro-creating jobs. Strassel states that a CBS poll found "86% of Americans believe Obama's policies have hurt them or had no effect." The country is fed up with Obama and his unqualified Administration. Once again, Obama is proving that the more government interferes with the economy and policy, the more the country suffers and does nothing to stimulate the economy.
