GETTING IT FROM BOTH SIDES: “Barack Obama spent the last couple of days fending off the firestorm over James Johnson. Now Obama is getting flak for hiring mainstream advisor (‘Wall Street economist,’ in liberal-speak) Jason Furman to provide economic expertise. The left wing crowd is upset because they were under the impression Obama was a protectionist, pro-labor, populist. Where did they get that impression? Probably from listening to Obama on the campaign trail.” Yeah, but that was just politics. Remember?
