The President’s Op-Ed Today

Keith Hennessey responds so I don’t have to.

(Ok – fine, he would have responded anyway, but since he did such a good job and has an improved website, I’m going to forward you on to him.)

Here’s my favorite bit:

[President Obama] We must let [the stimulus] work the way it’s supposed to, with the understanding that in any recession, unemployment tends to recover more slowly than other measures of economic activity. … There are some who say we must wait to meet our greatest challenges. They favor an incremental approach or believe that doing nothing is somehow an answer.

[Keith] So the President says we must wait for the stimulus to work, then attacks others who say we must wait “to meet our greatest challenges.”
