Yesterday, it was the news that VP search leader Jim Johnson got some sweetheart loan help from Countrywide Financial’s Angelo Mozillo.
Or else making better decisions in the first place.
Today, it’s the uncovering of economic policy advisor Jason Furman as an unreconstructed Slickster/DLC neoliberal. I guess Obama was right with Austan Goolsbee’s whispering campaign about NAFTA to Canadian officials.
Finally, the news that Obama is looking hard at military brass hats as VP candidates doesn’t sit well with me, at least, either.
And, he has started some ex post facto vetting: Jim Johnson is stepping down from the VP search team.
That’s good reaction, but the initial action of tapping him is still questionable.
I know, I know — diehard Obamiacs in particular and Democrats in general will argue these are tempests in teapots. But, you get enough teapots boiling at once, and soon enough you’ve got heat enough to drive most people out of the kitchen.
