too funny...
Quote:
...George W. Bush lived in a bubble, partly of his own making, that walled off creative dissent or even, in some cases, common sense.
Mindful of his predecessor, Barack Obama seems to be trying harder to make sure he hears all sides. On the night of April 27, for instance, the president invited to the White House some of his administration's sharpest critics on the economy, including New York Times columnist Paul Krugman and Columbia University economist Joseph Stiglitz. Over a roast-beef dinner, Obama listened and questioned while Krugman and Stiglitz, both Nobel Prize winners, pushed for more aggressive government intervention in the banking system.

All sides =
a)those who think the government should pump nearly 13 trillion freshly printed federal reserve notes into various corporations and micro-manage the entire economy at an unprecedented level; and
b) those who criticize the the government for not doing a whole lot more.
thank god Obamanation is seeking out a diverse array of opinions. I mean...what can go wrong so long as the obamunists are listening to Krugman in order to inject a great deal more common sense into the discussion?
