AUSTAN GOOLSBEE LIVES! “Now that the Dem primary is officially over, it’s safe for the Obama campaign to let economics adviser Austan Goolsbee (remember NAFTA-gate?) start publicly making the case for Obama’s economic policies.”

Of course, that leads Karl at Protein Wisdom to comment: “I wonder who else Obama has disappeared only temporarily…”

Plus this: “Ironically, Austan is back just in time to be asked about his spirited defense of the subprime lending practices that Obama has been railing against out on the campaign trail. The media will ask him about it, won’t they?” The problem isn’t Goolsbee. It’s the rest of the campaign.
