Christina Romer steps down, what a shame

[The Rabbi]

or perhaps she wanted to go home so her kid could go to the same high school for four years?

being that's what she said and all...

she's also being appointed to a different panel that allows her to live at home.

you really should try to stop making up stuff. maybe then someone will listen to what you have to say.

Doubtless she never considered those things when she agreed to take the job, right?
Poor Jillian. Pushed by partisanship into appearing either naive or mendacious. Possibly both.

In fact Romer is leaving because of the contradictions between what she believes and what she is forced to say as a member of the White House. She promised the stimulus would keep the unemployment rate below 8.5% (or whatever the number was). It is stubbornly at 9.5%. Anyone else with this record of failure would ahve been fired long ago.

Some forecaster Romer is, she can't even figure her kids school preferences? A weak EXCUSE, given by a person who FAILED. A failure which was abundantly clear BEFORE the policy even started.

and you know that she and the president didn't discuss this two years ago?

i am neither naive nor mendacious, unlike you. but s'okay.

and if you didn't insist on being insulting, childish and ignorant, there might have been a point in there worth discussing. *shrug*

and i'm sure you have some reliable source of information for what you said, right?

as for being fired.... bush wasn't and we lost how many jobs a month when he was president?

so perhaps if the rightwingnuts stopped pretending this is a 'failure', there'd be something to talk about.

i do think he'd have done better to ignore the right, though and stick to funding jobs as opposed to tax cuts when he first came into office.

I dont know that she and Obama aren't having an affair and Michelle found out about it.
But that is about as likely as her explanation.
There is no need to pretend that Obama's policies have been a failure. The truth is that they are a failure. Romer's resignation is proof of that.
We are not in recovery. We continue to have net job losses. We continue to see increased bankruptices and increased foreclosures. I have lived through 3 or 4 economic recoveries and this isn't one of them.

I take it you didn't like Reagan? Hmm, Guess you must not like Obama if you are comparing!

Try and stay on topic btw.

Yes I do not like Obama, never really did. I just considered him the lesser of the evils and still do.

Still do? Then you are one stupid fuck! The man is destroying this country, he's sueing another state for applying a law he refuses to apply, he's killing the oil industry with his moratorium, he's racking up a historical amount of debt, unemploymnt is at damn near ten percent and will get worse and that's according Obama's main man Tim Gietner (sp?), forced a healthcare bill through that the majority of Americans did not want. Excluding the Afghan war (which is essentially the same strategy that Bush used) what good has he done? And you say he's the lesser of two evils?

You must really think very little of America if you think it can be destroyed by a healthcare bill.

Btw, the Oil Industry is doing just fine.

It can sure be destroyed by socialist policies that bankrupt this country.
Look at Argentina, once one of the richest countries in the world.

WASHINGTON – Christina Romer, one of President Barack Obama's most pivotal economic advisers, is resigning, a change that comes as the White House struggles to show signs of clear economic gains to a hurting nation.

The ship is sinking, how many more will bail?

Romer, along with Vice President Joe Biden's top economist, Jared Bernstein, wrote in a January 2009 report that the economic stimulus package Obama was proposing would keep unemployment under 8 percent. Without the stimulus, the report said employment would rise to about 9 percent in 2010. Yet unemployment has surpassed that figure.

Yah, we all see were those lies got us.....


Romer, key Obama economic aide, resigning - Yahoo! News

She will return to her job as a professor of economics at the University of California, Berkeley.

Should have known, another person in BO's cabinet who probably never had a real job with real world experience.

.

Will she be remembered as a quitter like Palin?
