Credit to Sam Seder and his new show at http://majorityreport.fm for bringing this story to my attention on Friday. This is an interview with Steve Inskeep on NPR on December 10, 2010, titled "Obama On Taxes, Economy And START". The relevant quote is below the fold. It really lays bare his economic philosophy. Follow me over the jump.

This diary is for anyone who wants to clear the clutter in their home. I might do another diary about other kinds of clutter, like emotional clutter. These are some things that I have found helpful. Thought it can be a difficult process, clutter-clearing can feel cathartic, and can give one a sense of control when life can feel out of control. It can also provide a sense of accomplishment which one can use as a stool to step up to greater accomplishments.

I'm in a new city. I've been here for eleven weeks. Before that I was in another new city, that one for a year. Before that, I was in an apartment in my hometown. During that year I moved out of and short-sold my house, closed my business, had my first baby, and saw my husband through a drastic career change. We have moved three times in two years. Our son had colic for his first nine months. I don't even really know where I'm going with all of this.

My realtor left my house a few hours ago, after a meeting in which for the first time we discussed foreclosure. My husband and I have spent the past few hours discussing what to do. He just went to go to work, and I turned on MSNBC. Apparently the important news of the day has to do with a girl that recently went missing.

Pootie was sick last week, and it looked like she wasn't going to make it. I cried and cried. We've only had her for a few years, but shes about 12 or 13 now. She was near death when she found me outside, starving, ulcers in her eyes, exhausted. She cried at me so persistently, she was determined to get help. She saved me in this weird way. Being able to scoop her up, so easily in her frantic state, and taking her inside to sleep for three days on my bed. She's been my furry little girl ever since.

With all of the diaries and media attention about Obama's comments about Reagan, I thought that I would break out this little book that I've kept for 25 years. It's called "The Book of Stopping World War III", and it was facilitated by my wonderful teacher Joe Brulenski and the Berkeley Teacher's Center, in 1982, in Berkeley. Our class of first and second grade students wrote letters to Reagan and Premier Andropov. I'm going to include a few of the letters below. I hope the students (and Joe) won't mind.

Joe and I had some good times. I knew that our opinions differed on many things, but I held my tongue. I thought there might be a day of reckoning sometime, when I'd tell him to f#$% off because I just couldn't stand it anymore, but I was hoping to stave off that day with our mutual interests and the times we've shared. Until yesterday.
