Obama's election was a historic event. He is riding a wave of enthusiasm, and has the popular support to make real changes. Yet he has done nothing.

Congress is not responsible for that. True, Congress should be doing their job as well, but that does not excuse Obama. You say he is SLOWLY working on turning the ship.

How? What has he done to reverse the policies of the Bush administration? As for drama, we are in the midst of an economic crisis and we are embroiled in two wars.

As for taxing the rich, the only thing I will say is that all income should be taxed as income, that includes wages, dividends and capital gains. It is disgraceful that our wealthiest citizens pay taxes at a lower rate than wage earners.
