President Hoover, Mr. Chief Justice, my friends:
This is a day of national consecration. And I am certain that on this day my fellow Americans expect that on my induction into the Presidency, I will address them with a candor and a decision which the present situation of our people impels.
This is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and boldly. Nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions in our country today. This great Nation will endure, as it has endured, will revive and will prosper.
So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life, a leadership of frankness and of vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory. And I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days.

Contrast that with this from Romer and Maher

From Christina Romer, ex chair of Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers August 8 2011
Never before in history has the US had a debt down grade. Even during the worst days of the Great Depression And the failed Ex CHAIR of Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers, who Quarterbacked Obama's economic policies for the first half of the Administration, goes on the Maher show (bad judgment under any circumstances for some one at the level of an ex chair of Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers) and tells the world that the US economy is “pretty darn F**ked. giggle giggle”
What is the rest of the world going to think about this and what kind of a vote of confidence give in the stability of the US Economy and Monetary system at a very critical time?
What kind of people do we have running our country?
I'm speechless in shock. This is so wrong on so many levels I don't even know where to begin to to evaluate the damage this moron has done to our country and is continuing to do.

And of Romer
