What is striking is that the president and his advisers still seem to be clueless about which economic policies work and which don’t work. Despite his (at least for this week) emphasis on the economy, he persists in being the anti-Reagan, with anti-growth policies.

How are the communists going to get their revolution of the proletariat unless the proles feel they have nothing to lose and no other means of gain?

It seems like a hard game to maintain when they have to take ‘Honenchange’ and turn it in to no hope and convince people they are happy and better off.

I was going to make the same point. They are NOT clueless; they are deliberate in their effort to cause a socialist revolution in this country by making those disadvantaged (as a result of Obama's own policies) believe that the only way to bring them up is another dose of the same. And the downward spiral will continue.
