Truly unbelievable. The White House is just missing in action on the economy. Looking at 2 different articles in today's NY Times lays it out.
Page 3 of the Business section of the NY Times points out that sales of existing housing stock in December was much lower than expected, raising questions whether "the housing market can function without ample government assistance"[emphasis added], while Page 1 of the NY Times announces Obama's spending freeze to trim DEFICITS. For a while it looked like Obama was going to make Roosevelt's 1937 mistakes, but I wonder if he isn't doing a Herbert Hoover instead. Either way, it's very bad.
