Has the Kool Aid Finally Worn Off

for Frank Rich? For the first time in many months he finally makes some coherent sense regarding Obama.

Well, when you are in fact a product of the Chicago School, and Obama actually taught at the University of Chicago, and when you surround yourself with Friedmanites of the Democratic persuasion, or neoliberals, any economic policy which seeks to prop up the status quo is going to fail. The status quo, which for the past thirty years has been Friedmanism or some variation thereof, has been a complete failure. If one wants to use the Katrina comparison, you can't plug a leaking levee with a bandaid.

And Geithner and Summers HAVE to be ditched.
