Does The White House Even have A Clue?

Just a few month ago, during the "Battle For The White House," then candidate B. Obama consistently mocked his opponent (AZ Sen. John McCain, in case you forgot) for saying that, "The fundamentals of our economy are strong." Obama's campaign team (a.k.a., the major news media) accused the veteran senator of being out of touch. Today, however, a similar message came from economic adviser Christina Romer. Asked on "Meet the Press" if the fundamentals of the economy were sound, she responded: "Of course they are sound. The fundamentals are sound in the sense that the American workers are sound, we have a good capital stock, we have good technology, We know that — that temporarily we're in a mess, right? We've seen huge job loss, we've seen very large falls in GDP. So certainly in the short run we're in a — in a bad situation." And to think that just a few weeks ago, on February 4th, everything was "Crisis!, crisis!, catastrophe!." Well, it was the W.H Chief O' Staff who said, "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before." (see video) Apparently, now that the liberals have pushed through two pork-laden spending bills with more on the way, they can throw that whole "crisis" idea under the bus.
