<<And its Obama who stands between them and their rise. Don't you get it? He can't go up against them directly.......that would be a fool's game for so many reasons.

I know as much as you about political strategy. Obama had a strong mandate he squandered when he got in. FDR and TR fought the rich straight on.

Had Obama hired warriors like stiglitz, Krugman, roemer and volker and set them loose things would have gottne done, or Howard Dean.

We'll see if he will even makes a recess appointment of Warren?

Obama seems to like the middle. He is not engaged in some brilliant strategy. He likes moderates and he like guys like Geithner, Petraeus, etc.

He used to make fun of Krugman and insulted Krugman, Stiglitz, Roemer and Volker. Goolsby and romer and volker all rebelled and left.

How is that a strategy?
