I feel that one thing Obama really needs to do, in addition to rolling out the Stimulus and his Budget Proposals, is keep hammering on the legacy nature of the problems the Nation faces. Already the GOP is trying to spin the crisis as something Obama caused. I have even heard the argument that Obama's responsibility predates his taking office because he was the "Real President" after November 4th and Bush was just a lame duck.
I like what the Obama Administration is doing so far but I would frame this huge crisis as a multiple car auto accident with severe injuries. The Obama Administration is like the Fire, Police and EMT personnel that arrives on the scene and tries to do the best they can for the injured ... but they didn't cause the accident, whose aftermath they are addressing, to start with.
The Republicans own this mess ... the Wars, the Economy, everything. The Obama Administration must not give them any opportunity to wriggle out of that responsibility.
