The Entire Obama Presidency, In One Anecdote.
"Energy was a particular obsession of the president-elect’s, and therefore a particular source of frustration. Week after week, [White House economic adviser Christina] Romer would march in with an estimate of the jobs all the investments in clean energy would produce; week after week, Obama would send her back to check the numbers. “I don’t get it,” he’d say. “We make these large-scale investments in infrastructure. What do you mean, there are no jobs?” But the numbers rarely budged."
Wouldn't you like to have been a fly on the wall where his faculty lounge dreams ran into reality for the first time in his life?
Ramirez is genius! And Prof Perry is right up there with him ;)
paul, good job!
I think its rather hilarious that the book is written by Noam Scheiber, senior editor at the New Republic, a rag that is rarely sympathtic to conservative/common sense issues...
BTW you might get a chuckle out of this (replete with audio tracks), Al Sharptoon is action like a cartoon again...
