Some people consider him the architect of Obamanomics, but I really doubt that. I don't doubt he was a player, but I do doubt that the fascist economics that are THE ONE's favorite model is his idea.<br /><br />Again, time will tell. We won't know any time soon.Ragspierrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06879007675662895968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189556768510552077.post-40525534205223432452010-09-22T07:52:54.968-07:002010-09-22T07:52:54.968-07:00I prefer the sinking ship allegory - more of an ep...I prefer the sinking ship allegory - more of an epic spectacle than an unraveling. In the famous words of Thomas Andrews after assessing the damage, "The ship will sink." Titanic could survive flooding four of her water tight compartments, but not five. <br /><br />The Obama ship will inevitably sink, and despite wierdly clueless statements to the contrary, they know it. If Summers was thrown overboard as "ballast off a sinking ship" or just had the good sense to abandon ship while he still has a reputation I think is irrelevant. Look for many more in the days to come. <br /><br />At least Captain Smith had the honor and dignity to stand in his wheelhouse and go down with the ship. Mr Ismay, the owner of the ship, crept into a lifeboat for "women and children only" to save his sorry arse.<br /><br />It will be interesting (and entertaining) to see which roles the crew of HMS Obama will play.
