Seriously, I'm hearing that during the campaign one can say anything, anything at all and it's fair game? Or that Obama, after being in the Senate, was naive at best? Watch the percentages of kids voting to see the result.
You might just get lucky though, kids aren't neccessarily known for street smarts

Don't you agree that there was plenty of opposition to the things that he proposed. He has to govern while the GOP can play a political game of chicken. Do you think that if he had a filibuster proof senate he would have watered down the health care bill, or permitted the Bush tax cuts to remain in effect for the wealthiest Americans. The Employee Free Choice Act passed the House. I want much more from Obama and from government, but I realize how hard it is to battle entrenched interests.
As far as street smarts, don't you think kids who are a bit savvy will understand the politics of the possible?
BTW, Pete. As far as full disclosure, why don't you identify all of the things off of his list of "failures" that you would actually want to happen.
