President Obama’s chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, let slip a valuable clue when he said that a crisis should not go to waste, that a crisis is an opportunity to do things that you could not do otherwise

Thanks for the ping jaz. Yes, he’s so right once again isn’t he. The “rush” was all about getting through their Socialist Programs before the economy righted itself, and before anyone could begin talking about that occuring. They made certain to keep talking over any common sense resolutions so nobody could be the wiser.

“Nothing in the amateurish way the current administration has begun suggests that they have mastered even the mechanics of governing”

I heard one of Levin’s guests describe some of their moves as “politically clumsy”.

“The last thing the administration can risk is delay that could allow the market to begin recovering on its own. That would undermine, if not destroy, a golden opportunity to restructure the American economy”

Yep.

Man, I wish he had run for President a few years ago when he was younger. The man is a genius.

I ususally agree with Prof. Sowell.
but this pollyannish nonsense has to stop.
He is far to optimistic and we are in a lot more trouble than most can imagine.

"FDR also inspired the will to believe-- and he also had Herbert Hoover on whom to blame all the country's troubles.

It may seem strange, to those who never lived through those times, that someone could be President of the United States for eight straight years and nevertheless escape responsibility for mass unemployment by blaming his long-departed predecessor. But we may yet see a re-run of that scenario in our own time."

The fact that people today are spoiled and don't have the kind of patience that people had way back then, could, for once, work to our favor, and thus history won't repeat itself in its entirety. THAT is my hope.
