As an aside, I’m astonished at how like the last progressive revolution this one will be. There are muckrakers (Matt Taibbi) evil big business villains (AIG) and really, Barack Obama should be reading the biographies of Woodrow Wilson rather than FDR. I worry about our addiction to experts to solve our problems. Timothy Geitner was chosen (and so was Tom Daschle at HHS) because of their expertise, but that expertise is due to their closeness to the problems that they’re facing. You apparently c

My yoga teacher says her sources say he does. She says it is no accident that Barack Obama’s big policy speech came on Tuesday night, the first night of the new moon (the first of Adar in the Jewish calendar). She says this is the time to set your intentions for the new month. My agenda is less grandiose than Barack’s.

This is change. Barack Obama was in Denver on Tuesday afternoon to sign the $787 billion stimulus package–a.k.a. the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The occasion was historic. Less than four weeks in office, Obama had won approval of a serious piece of legislation–a tremendous blast of spending and tax cuts designed to boost the collapsing economy.
