Adding up the score

Contrary to much of the mainstream media world, I think this has been a great month for Barack Obama.
First it is said he was in over his head threatening Syria.
Here's how I see it. He stood up when most of the world wouldn't in enforcing the world's commitment to stopping the use of chemical weapons. (By the way, France was standing with us, all you freedom fryers). Correct there.
Second, he went to Congress as they were asking and our system demands. Right again.
Third, he weighed the balance of abiding by the Congressional restriction, if it came, and the need to take a stand for the world and retained the right to go ahead without their approval. Tough, but I think correct.
Fourth, this stand brought about a diplomatic opening and, unlike George Bush, he took it. Not just right, but outstanding.
So far, it's Obama everything, opposition nothing.
Then we come to healthcare.
It's said the American people oppose this. But really, what they oppose is the mythical Obamacare that the Republicans have made up and scared them with.
When the people are asked about what's really in the law, they favor it strongly.
Another win.
And Sen. McConnell criticizes the law for leading some companies to give up their healthcare programs, but as I recall, one of the best outcomes foreseen for this law was that it would put American companies on a more equal footing with companies around the world who are not burdened with healthcare costs because the governments there were involved in this field. (Maybe they can use some of the money they are saving to beef up their pension benefits - just saying). Victory again.

Yes, I think this is starting out as a potentially good fall for our president.
