CHECKMATE: THE ECONOMIC CHESS MASTERS PLAY A LOSING GAME: “Barack Obama & Co. represent the very freshest and most imaginative thinking of the 1930s,” Kevin D. Williamson writes. “Stimulus, public works, monkeying with the minimum wage, political favoritism for union constituencies, the ancient superstition that simply putting money in somebody’s pocket makes the nation richer through the miraculous power of the economic multiplier, etc.”

Hey, Time magazine promised voters that Obama would be the reincarnation of FDR in November of 2008 — curiously  though, they meant their comparison to be a compliment.
