Is GTD any way to run a country?

There’s a sense among progressives—based on Obama’s record so far and coagulating around the compromises being made in health care reform negotiations—that the judgments Obama is making aren’t squaring with the kind of president he said he’d be. Progressive discontent is now just simmering, partially because Obama is still Obama, but he seems to be giving them every opportunity to boil over.

That’s because it looks like Obama is having a checklist presidency. Yes, his agenda is being passed, but much of it feels compromised. The president appears to be delegating far too many details to Congress in order to keep Getting Things Done.
