Time Magazine: Obama's Reform Agenda: Is He Trying to Do Too Much?

David Von Drehle and Michael Scherer's Time Magazine article, Obama's Reform Agenda: Is He Trying Yo Do Too Much?, suggest that Barak Obama is trying to do too much and in reality is doing too little. The author's uses other expert opinions that also agree and believe that Obama's number one concern should be the economy. According to this article the wealthiest investor in the U.S., Warren Buffet stated that, "Job 1 is to win the war, the economic war. Job 2 is to win the economic war...". Retired CEO's of the Intel corp and General Electric's also agree with this comment. The article later goes on to say that, " promising higher standards for hiring, tighter controls on spending and greater transparency in execution", Obama is just setting himself up to let the Nation down. I agree that Obama is trying to do too much at once, but at least by adressing the issues and coming up with plans that would fix each issue instead of waiting for one to be solved; Obama is setting up guidelines that the Nation will know he will be following. This way the citizens of America won't have to wait in vain and in darkness. They would have some sort of deliverance to look forward to.

How would the authors claim affect the rest of the U.S. are who are currently behind Obama's policy's if the citizens of America were to read this article?

Why do the authors of this article believe it's such a bad thing or at least unintelligent idea to try and fix the Nation's problems all at once?
