The Red Sox didn’t win a WS for 80+ years until they hired a kid GM. Perhaps Obama’s thinking the rookie will hit a home run.
Beginner’s luck is where we are at. Why not? Isn’t America just an experiment in self-government? Don’t you love being part of this great unveiling? Isn’t that what makes Liberty so wildly exciting?

Very slightly off topic, but what do you make of the 31 year-old with zero worthwhile or practical experience, being put in some sort of authority position (totally in charge?) of the new Gov. Motors?

I’m thinking that he must simply be a “front” guy who will do exactly what he is told by someone behind the scenes in the Admin, NOT named and whose identity is not shared with the public.

“Transparency” indeed.

Lots of authoritarianism in the bailouts…don’t forget Bank of America being required to “swallow” Merrill even though there was a material adverse change that allowed them to get out of the deal. Also lots of shielding of info about why they bailed out the institutions in the first place.
