The idea that Obama lacks a plan is right in a sense: nothing he has proposed has been big enough to boost the US economy’s painfully slow recovery from the 2007-9 recession, nor to insulate it from shocks coming from Europe and from weakening growth in the rest of the world.
奥巴马缺乏计划这一说法在某种意义上来说是对的：他所提议的政策没有一个足以推动美国经济摆脱2007~09年衰退后痛苦而迟缓的复苏，也不能使其免受来自欧洲经济危机的冲击或全球增长减缓的影响。
