Why cannot he at least spend a few hours in deep discussion with Simon Johnson, Senior Research Staff for The Peterson Institute?

because things aren't bad enough yet? (shudder).

what i don't get is why elisabeth warren? i love the woman, she could unmask all the geithner/paulson canoodling in a few pithy paragraphs, in words the average person can understand.

in the swamp of alligators that is wall street, he sticks her alone and undefended.

not that she needs it, lol. is she the 'enemy' being clutched closer with intent to disarm? a token? or a mole that with the power of truth can rip open the shady veil. i am so rooting for her, and i think she will be the one to funnel more disparate and visionary economists into the vacuum created by the present crisis.

shock doctrine in reverse! she seems pretty unswiftboatable too...

I was thinking of her while composing the above comment. For all I know he has been talking to her, but to no avail. In any case he certainly has every opportunity to do so and would have to be willfully obtuse not to know what she thinks of much of what is happening.
