Larry Summers:Yes, It's Bad. Real Bad. Horrible, Actually.

Is the sky falling?

Or the tide rising?

Either way, the space in between is narrowing.

The good news is--the latest doom sayers don't know what they're talking about any more than their predessors did.

If they're right, it doesn't matter.

If they're wrong as usual, we still have to go on going on.

Cheers!

The Obama Way

Folks if you haven't figured it out yet this is the SOP of the Obama team, use percentages and ratios when addressing anything and all things. This enables double talk and slick excusses for not keeping their word because they can add new data or use a different formula to justify their plans, actions, and results.

I really wish the Obama team success, but my fear is the lack of experience and trying to keep all people happy will cause big issues.
