In this interview below (01) on PBS's Newshour O'Neill was quite flattering of the President and the President's policies. He correctly forecasted a renewal of the economy quickly if the congress would only pass the President's tax cuts and that the tax cuts were the best means by which to stimulate the economy.

I am not sure about what has happpened here but it must be related to the fact that he was forced to give up his shares in ALCOA upon becoming Tresury Sec. He resisted that.

Anybody but me wonder, if this is true, why he didn't come out with it BEFORE we invaded Iraq? If he had no problem with coming out with it now, why didn't he do it in the 6 month run up to the war?
