"Is Obama taking on too much...?"

This article seems to argue so.
What really caught my eye, however, was this comment someone had posted on the article:

Is Obama trying to do too much? No, of course not. He is taking advice from Saul Alinski's writings which say he must cause chaos, panic, and total despair in order to install a new Government order. There is the fantasy abroad in the US that Obama is trying to stimulate the economy to repair the damage to people's investments, jobs, and future retirements. There is nothing further from the truth because his statements about catastrophic tax increases, energy controls which control company's profits -- which is how he plans to bankrupt the coal industry, increasing taxes on investors and compay owners, denying medical treatments to senior citizens, all point to an orchestrated plan to make the recession into a depression. And that is what Rahm Emmanuel meant when he said "a crisis is too important to waste." Every time he makes a statement the market drops. If he had said nothing we would be far better off.

Whether or not you agree, it's certainly an interesting thought.
