That was when Obama promised that he’d pursue “the kind of bold, persistent experimentation that Franklin Roosevelt pursued during the only crisis worse than this one.”

It was when Zero promised to follow the example of the Doofus on the Dime, that he'd pursue "the kind of bold, persistent experimentation that Franklin Roosevelt pursued during the only crisis worse than this one." The editorial goes on to cite Amity Shlaes's analysis in her book The Forgotten Man that FDR's government action to end the Depression only served to lengthen it.

Of course, Obama is simply promising to continue and intensify what he's been doing ever since he took office, namely policies that have produced the weakest recovery since the Great Depression.

Reagan Recession & Recovery

Bush, Sr., Recession & Clinton Recovery

Thanks to Obama and the Democrat Party, there are 12 or 13 million Americans who should have jobs who have given up and are largely invisible in the numbers.
