Politics. Are we seeing a plate too full?



This is outside my lane but I've got talk about it.

Are we seeing the Obama admin piling too much on its plate?

The economy went backwards last month.  It actually went into negative territory.

We have gun control, women in the military, Libya, Syria, Mali, Egypt, immigration, gay marriage, climate change, sequestration, a rising China, deficit spending and a bunch of other stuff.

Just implementing Obama Care would be a heavy lift if it was done right but all this other stuff too?

Watching this and being an admitted amateur when it comes to politics but I just don't see it all getting done before he becomes a lame duck.  Quite honestly I don't see him getting a quarter of it done.

The shockwaves from the cuts to the military will shock the economy like nothing else and I can actually see the economy going into recession just from that shock.  I'm trying to be objective despite my biases but it really seems like a lack of planning is happening and its as if they're throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks.
