Obama's Biggest Mistakes

1. Keeping Robert Gates as Defense Secretary. Keeping Gates as Secretary of Defense meant that the administration tied itself to the same failed policies, especially in Afghanistan.

2. Not Breaking Up the Big Media Monopolies. The Obama administration should have moved to break-up the big media monopolies, which spew right-wing propaganda and are currently rooting for the GOP in the upcoming elections.

3. Trusting the leadership at BP. A lot of people were willing to make the same mistake. Still BP had acquired a lousy track record in terms of safety; remember the Texas City of Fire of 2005 and the Alaska pipeline oil spill of 2006.
