Well, I hope that Bernstein tells Biden that the Bankruptcy Bill that Biden pushed certainly isn’t helping in this economy.

OT but LOL:

Frank Urges Greater Obama Role During Transition

Meanwhile, Obama is coming under criticism from an influential Democratic Congress member for deferring to President Bush on handling the economic crisis during the transition. On Thursday, Congress member Barney Frank, the chair of the House Financial Services Committee, said, “At a time of great crisis with mortgage foreclosures and autos, [Obama] says we only have one president at a time. I’m afraid that overstates the number of presidents we have. He’s got to remedy that situation.”

It’s a step in the right direction. Let’s give credit where credit’s due, eh?

Now if Obama names Joseph Stiglitz to a high-level economic adviser position, I’ll be impressed.

Oh just wait…the rightwing media or the conspiracy freaks will come up with something on this guy. If you dare go take a peek at the Infowars.com site and read comments there. We have a lot of idiots running around in our country. Everything Obama does is about the NWO to these sheople.

Sounds like a step in the correct direction. I’m anxious to see us actually move.

Frankly, I am a little surprised by Biden’s initiative. But I ain’t complainin’. Smooth move, dude.

And, evidently Obama has appointed for his lead trade negotiator someone who has been very critical of NAFTA. Plus, making Daschle the Sec of Human Services shows he wants universal healthcare legislation to clear congress quickly – that’s what Dashle does. These are good signs for progressives whether or not they know it.
