The chorus of those saying Obama is trying to tackle too many problems at once has been joined by former Secretary of State Colin Powell, who in an interview for broadcast tomorrow said he worries the president is spreading himself too thin.

“I think one of the challenges that President Obama has now is that he’s got so many things on the table,” Powell said on CNN’s “State of the Union with John King,” according to a transcript released by the network

So....what do YOU think??

Interesting way to send a message to Iran. He does have huge issues to tackle, if he can complete just one, he will be successful... Let's hope he can accomplish more than that. Thanks Kathy!

I think you deal with what's been placed before you. President Obama didn't go out shopping for these issues....They are the elephant in the room! I wouldn't want his job for anything!

noted Thanks Kathy I agree with Stephanie V. This is a man who walked into a hornets nest and it was his choice to do so. I think he should be commended for whatever he accomplishes and that we should all show our support instead of complaining all the time about everything. I mean if you have the answers, then maybe you should have run for the office? Negativity and complaining never gets you anywhere but to more of the same. Whatever you send out into the universe is exactly what you will get back. If you dont believe me, try it. When you are faced with a problem, dont you want support and someone standing next to you with positive energy instead of being all alone and only having negativity surrounding you? I cant help but think about all those who complain and say things like "he/she should do things this way", or "he/she doesnt know what they are doing". I cant help but think about those people who are saying those kinds of things and think how ignprant are they? I mean if you dont like the way something is bbeing done, thats fine, but in my opinion, then you should come up with a better way or answer and take the action necessary to make it true. Get off your soapboxes and do something besides complain.
