Obamanomics in a Nutshell

By James Pethokoukis

Posted: February 21, 2008

What is the economic philosophy of Democratic front-runner Barack Obama? I will elaborate on this later, but for now, think of it this way: He's Robert Rubin on trade (pretty much keep it open but help workers), Warren Buffett on taxes (higher rates really don't affect what rich folks do, so crank 'em up! ), and Robert Reich on spending (balance the budget later, "invest" now in education and science). Healthcare and regulation? I am open to suggestions ... very open.

Clown

Is there anyone who doesnt think Obama is nothing but a clown now. An empty suit who gave 2 good speeches. Its a joke that hes accomplished nothing with his life and already written two autobiographies.

Can I say Narcissist?

Obomanomics

Trickle down has served it's purpose and needs to change. Bottom up sounds good to me.

Correction

I meant to say, I am NOT particulary eager to pay more taxes.
