He never promised that. I elected Obama knowing that we would probably see alot of darkness before we reached the end of the tunnel.

As for your credit card situation - shop around. Why pay off a 19% card when you probably have many other CC options that will do low cost transfer balances. I got rid of one of my 24% interest rates by switchign to a 9 months 0% balance transfer and I paid the thing off. I now have 10% on that card (btw I round up).

As for the health care reform - there are 14 major items being put into play once this bill is signed - many of them to the benefit of all of us. As for the public option not being ready until 2014? Do you think Obama can just wave a magic wand and *Boom* this thing is ready to setup and run? The public option is a major reform that will require alot of work to set-up and impliment. Or would you prefer we just slap something out there that is busted on arrival and a nightmare because we didn't give it the proper time to setup the computers, the file delivery system, the billing and and the personnal to make this thing run properly.

We are all suffering. I never expected sunshine and rainbows the day after Obama was sworn in as president. Hell I'd be happy for a nice overcast day with the sun peaking thru by the end of the 4 years of the adiminstration.
