Friday, September 3rd, 2010

Most of us wonder what the economic plan of President Obama is. Two recent stories in The Washington Post confirms what we all expected – there is no plan or if there is it changes every day.

This theme is captured by Michael Gerson on September lst. That same day Christina Romer, President’s Obama’s number one economic advisor gave a farewell luncheon speech at the National Press Club. It was her last day on the job. Read what Dan Milbank has written. After this it will be clearer why our economy is in such a mess.

Everyone knows the media searches for an August story. Well Obama gave it to them. He just cannot stand to take a vacation or be quite when others are resting and playing in August. Guess that is why he stirred up the mosque story. You may want to read more from today’s Washington Post.

Eighteen Month Tradition

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

During the nearly twenty-five years Jenny and I spent in Washington we learned about the eighteen month burnout of political appointees. This was true for White House staff, a cabinet office, or an Assistant Secretary in a department.

I thought you might find it fun and interesting to read a New York Times story about the eighteen month burnout.

Respected columnist Charles Krauthammer presents a warning to those who already believe Obama is on his way out in 2012.

A Private Sector Stimulus

Monday, July 5th, 2010

The major corporations of America could create a private sector stimulus according to the editor of Newsweek International. He offers an interesting review of the problem Obama has with CEO’s. The business, economics, politics and social policy are all wrapped up in this concept.

After the poorly thought out explanation all I could think of was the Watergate cover up. I included in that post the comparison of explanation given by President Nixon at the time and President Obama at this point in time.

Jack Kelly, a columnist for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, says evidence mounts that there’s been a job-offer cover up.

IN FAIRNESS. The Obama White House must have learned a lesson. It did not take three months to explain the latest job offer. They must have burned the midnight oil. Just before as the morning news shows were reaching their peak they released a statement on the revelations by former Colorado House Speaker Andrews regarding job offers.
