I conjecture that Obama, and Obama’s science czar, is enabled by people like Larry Summers, who can find no end of rationalizations along the lines that Reverend Wright and John Holdren are moderate reformers who want reasonable and moderate changes in our lifestyles, not withstanding the fact that these guys are screaming their heads off that they are fanatics who want to totally smash our way of life. Coalition building is a lot easier if you maintain total delusion about your allies.

The “stimulus†is far too large and far too small.
Republicans are getting traction by condemning the “stimulusâ€, as an outlandishly extravagant porkfest, as miserly and inadequate, and as a disaster that should not be repeated – an attack made all the more effective by the many radical Democrats who complain the porkfest was inadequate, and call for a bigger and better porkfest: “Stimulus II†Obama’s approval ratings, though still high, are plummeting fast under this withering criticism. In Japan, …

Smoot Hawley again
One of the several government actions that so greatly prolonged the great depression was Smoot Hawley. The Becker Posner blog reports that the democrats want do do FDR all over again – meaning do the great depression all over again.
The lesson of the 2008 American Presidential election
You win elections from the base, not the center. Obama appealed to the Democrat base, the Democrat wing of the Democrat party, and the lunatic wing of the Democrat of the Democrat party, Just as Reagan appealed to the Republican party base. McCain tried to appeal to the wobbly Democrat wing of the Democrat pary – mainly by spitting on the Republican party base. McCain followed in the path of …
