7 Questions for Obama
Topics: Political News and commentariesLarry Elder notes that in Barack Obama's first prime-time press conference, he blamed the "failed theories of the last eight years" for today's economic crisis, pushed for massive, unprecedented government spending, took questions from pre-picked "reporters" that even included one from the hyper-liberal Web site The Huffington Post, and made statements that were patently false, misleading, or that needed clarification. These kinds of statements are addressed in his piece in the form of 7 questions: Obama in Prime Time: 7 Questions Left on Cutting Room Floor:
[...] 1) Mr. President, tonight you criticized those who argue that FDR's policies failed. I'd like to read a passage from the diary of Henry Morgenthau, FDR's Treasury secretary: "We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises. I say after eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started and an enormous debt to boot!" Please comment.
