Why would you wait for a "failure" before you attempted to do it right in the first place? Would you start steering your car to the right after you hit the pole on the left or would you steer right in time to avoid the pole?
Well, to because I don't have any proof that he's heading towards a pole. Also, because I don't have a bottomless well of outrage to apply to every word, phrase or funny look that may result in trouble later on.
I take your point, and I really don't mean to make light of a serious issue. Making demands of our elected officials in order to produce correct action is something that is all of our responsibility. But I am willing to give Obama the ebenfit of the doubt. Others may not, but that's where I fall.
