Can Obama Supporters Name One Achievement?

Economist and uber-blogger Bradford DeLong used to taunt Bush supporters to name a successful policy initiative. Can Obama backers do the same?

During the Bush years, Berkeley economist and uber-blogger Bradford DeLong taunted Bush supporters with this question:

"Give me one single example of something with the following three characteristics:

1. It is a policy initiative of the current Bush administration

2. It was significant enough in scale that I'd have heard of it (at a pinch, that I should have heard of it)

3. It wasn't in some important way completely fucked up during the execution."

As voters head to the voting booths in November , they might reverse that question:

"Give me one single example of something with the following three characteristics:

1. It is a policy initiative of the current Obama administration [ie, no continuations of pre-existing successful Bush policies: TARP, surge in Iraq, etc.]

2. It was significant enough in scale that I'd have heard of it (at a pinch, that I should have heard of it)

3. It has not utterly failed to produce the results promised."
