Ready after taking econ 101

Remember this, from Clinton back in January?

They want a president who they believe gets up every single day and works for them, that requires a president who is hands-on. Who after you set the goals and give the speeches, you go back to the White House and you start holding people accountable and you want to know what they’ve done today to help the American people.

You’ve got to take on this government, you’ve got to to run this government, you can’t leave it to others.

Except in this case of the economy, apparently. "Accountability" seems to mean bringing back the guy who urged homeowners to get the ARM mortgages that are decimating the economy.

[Alan Greenspan] has a calming influence still to this day on Wall Street -- don't ask me why because I never understand what he's saying -- but nevertheless people respond to that Delphic oracle approach. I think it would be wise to include him.

More of the "wisdom" that brought us the vote for war in Iraq and that similar vote dealing with Iran. "Wisdom", it seems, that leads her to ask for Greenspan's intervention even though she "never understand[s] what he's saying". Brilliant. I guess this is what she'll be ready to do on "day one".

Clinton's Bosnia lies are a bit bizarre, but this scares me more. When in crisis, what does Clinton do? She falls back on right-wing solutions, whether it's bringing back Greenspan, or voting for war in Iraq (and Iran).
