Summers going, going ….

gone !

Not the season, the Obama econ adviser … the third to jump ship … along with budget director Orzag and Christine “8%” Romers.

Two points:

1) If the Stimulus is working as well as Obama and Biden say, why aren’t these folks sticking around for the applause ?

2) At Monday’s twn hall, the President was asked specifically if Summers or Geithner would be replaced … he answered “no pesonnel decisions have been made” … do you think (a) decision was made yesterday, or (b) Obama didn’t know, or (c) the President wasn’t answering truthfully ?

I think he lied.

When the team owner voices his support for a coach, you know there will be changes… soon. When the President suggests appointed officials will be making decisions about “family” you know the situation is toxic.

I think the more important question is this: does the President realize that Rommer and Summers went against their own economic views to support HIS agenda? THEY didn’t fail – HIS ideas and ideology did.
