Let's hope Obama is not a second FDR since the latter's policies not only worsened the Depression but also prolonged it. And who else would Obama appoint to cabinet positions but Clintonites? Those who served under Carter are either deceased or elderly. I'm grateful that Obama and his advisors are staying loyal to those who are doing excellent work such as Gates. That lack of change gives me hope! Finally, would not berate deregulation and NAFTA too heartily. They are not the real culprits behind the economic turndown. Instead, look to the CRA, Fannie, Freddie, and HUD and their champion, Barney Frank.
