Fantasy Obama Vs. Reality Obama

So where are we in the Age of Obama? Here is where we are: Cap-and trade is on hold, the middle-class tax cut has an expiration date, a government healthcare insurance option is 50-50, and trillions are being spent on Wall Street. Where would liberals like to be? Probably somewhere in the vicinity of this agenda by Robert Kuttner: 1) Have government directly refinance mortgages; 2) nationalize troubled banks; 3) nationalize the Fed; 4) put a tax on all financial transactions;5) end international tax and regulatory havens; 6) enact a carbon tax; 7) comprehensive pre-K; 8) union card check; 9) health insurance for all; 10) a huge public works program.
