Meanwhile, one of The One’s minions denies that he’s distracted by multitasking:

WASHINGTON D.C. – A key economics adviser to President Barack Obama denies the administration is juggling too many things at once.

Head of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, Christina Romer, said the administration is moving methodically to restore American business health. In an interview Wednesday, Romer said Obama has communicated clearly that attacking the deep recession is his top priority.

She acknowledged the administration’s response to the economy is inherently complicated, but said they have rolled out many specific strategies to tackle issues like home foreclosures and the current “stress test” to determine the capital needs of troubled banks. Romer added that if people can lower their house payments, the extra cash would help “put their friends back to work.”

Glad to know he’s such a clear communicator; there must be a problem with the teleprompter then.
