I wonder when Hillary is going to be able to convince Joe Biden to retire and then she’ll wipe the floor with Obama. If Michelle is getting ticked at Mrs. Biden, then it is likely that more “Change” will be in the air. Michelle picking a fight with the VP’s wife might be a blessing to Hillary if it causes Biden to step down and then Hillary will be moved to the VP slot.

Then the Democrats can participate in the impeachment process and Hillary will step up to the place and work her arse off to fix the mess Obama made. Then Obama can run as President of Haiti against Jean Wycliff and win and terrorize the Haitians.

Agreed, Its interesting that "fat: outweighs the issue of what her economic positions were, TO CUT TAXES.

Its the only thing that will work, and no matter how they run around it, NOTHING else will work, NOT EVEN THE OBA Plan to extiguish billions in mortgage debt in arrears using Fannie Freddie, as has been floated. That will make things a whole lot worse.

In fact she likely was the only voice of sanity in that crowd of slick ideologues.

She wrote a paper that noted for every $1 in tax increases the GDP fell by $3. Taxes are going up against her advise? Don’t blame her for wanting to jump a sinking ship.

I agree with you about the distasteful personal posts about
Romer. People are letting their bad mood be reflected with bad manners.

Well I was worried about the economy, but after looking at this bunch of incompetent freaks in charge of it I’m petrified.

Not that it matters because zero will just appoint somebody equally as bad, but I view this as another “under the politcal bus” maneuver by zero. He’ll have a new economy czar that the leftist media will talk up as the all time heavy-weight of economics just in time for the election.

Romer: “We Are Staging A Wonderful Battle”

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503983_162-4866763-503983.html

...She maintained that the fundamentals of the U.S. economy are sound and continues to expect a turnaround in the second half of the year. “We have our eyes on the fundamentals....the day-to-day ups and downs of the stock market are a bad way to judge policy,” she said, voicing one of the Obama administration’s mantras.

However, some economists, such as New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, don’t think the government stimulus plan is big enough to turn things around. When asked about a second stimulus package, Romer said, “It’s premature to talk about a second stimulus package....we have to give this one a chance to work.”

She added that the stimulus package (also known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009) doesn’t have to carry the whole weight of curing the nation’s economic problems. The key is getting banks lending and people spending again, she said, noting that the banks weren’t cleaned up in the Great Depression until 1935, after the “real economy” has started to revive.

“that Larry Summers has more influence with the president.”


Methinks it is something more than playing second fiddle to the president. You don’t leave the most powerful organization in the history of the planet just because you were number two.

I agree - Romer was one of the few sane Democrats in this administration. I suspect she left willingly and I wonder how many more of her type are worrying about the way things are going. Democrat Angst - it brings a little smile to my face...
