Crisis Management, Obama-Style
Imagine a child falls down a well. Now imagine I offer to lend the parents my ladder to save her, but only if they promise to paint my house. Would you applaud me for not letting a crisis go to waste? Or would you think I'm a jerk?The best part? The thus-far ignored double standards. Read the whole thing.I ask because I'm trying to come to terms with Rule No. 1 of the Obama administration.
"Rule 1: Never allow a crisis to go to waste," White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel told the New York Times right after the election. "They are opportunities to do big things."

It's amazing how much our current media shows their bias. Any other president, excuse me, if with any other conservative president, their 100 day litmus test would be scathing to say the least.
I'd almost feel sorry for Obama if he wasn't such an ego maniacal douchebag.
he's probably quickly learning his primetime talks aren't stimulating the economy, it's actually helping the downward spiral. the bigwigs don't trust him, and his continued tax friendly ways are only making every CEO consider ways to cut more jobs.
once it doesn't work I'm sure he'll blame it on Bush Jr.
