Obama’s economic ambiguity

I’m almost done going through my emails, but still have a few left.  One of them brought to my attention Zombie’s post about Obama’s schiz0phrenia when it comes to the economy.  As for me, I’m not so sure that Obama is pulled in two directions.  I think he’s got a Cloward-Piven goal, but understands that he does not have the political might to make it happen.  The Keynesian approach is both a useful stopgap and a cover.

Speaking of economics, I can almost guarantee you that this movie will never see the light of day in Marin movie theaters when it opens this fall (although Marin has seen a huge increase in Republican voter registrations, so maybe there’s hope even here):
