"President Barack Obama is battling to save his health-care plan, fortify the war effort in Afghanistan, restart Middle East peace negotiations, lay the groundwork for sanctions against Iran, close the Guantanamo Bay prison, bring the U.S. into global climate-change effort, and end a global recession."
Weisman's point is that Obama has enough on his plate already without the Halder controversy. He quotes influential people in government to the same effect.
Weisman's list is a little padded with some not-so-important tasks. But the picture he paints is accurate. Obama faces far too many problems to make progress on any of them. Plus his credibility among the American public is plummeting.
Axelrod, Emanuel, Summers and the rest of Team Obama better get moving if they want this presidency to float. The next few months will be quite interesting!!!
