That's Gonna Leave a Mark

It’s hard to work up a good schadenfreude when the story is about the Obama Administration’s knee on the neck of job creation. On the other hand, here’s a list of some of the juicier phrases employed by Richard Wolffe in his LA Times report:

…his party’s shellacking…

…his propeller-head economists…

…the wonkish question…

But on the eve of an electoral disaster, the esoteric discussion…

…one of this White House’s most obvious failures…

…Obama’s dysfunctional economic team…

…the president has been frustrated…

…the president cannot be an empty vessel for hope…

…postelection gloom…

But the most telling line is this one: “the White House has failed to realize that the communications problem is a symptom of Obama’s problems, not a cause.”

It seems the Smartest Man in Any Room™ is a bit of a slow learner.
