Obama Econ
September 3rd, 2008
The WSJ printed an interesting article today, Why Obama Can’t Close the Sale. It is certainly a provocative look at the policies that are making some a little uneasy about the campaign line. Perhaps even more black and white was a very similar article published by Foreign Policy several days ago, Obama’s 10 Worst Ideas.
Foreign Policy is a publication which has never struck me as being bias any direction, perhaps it is. In any case it can be respected as being one of the most intelligent periodicals in wide distribution, so I tend to give it quite a bit of validity. There were some parallels between the two publications:
- Raising taxes on some and lowering for others.
- Promoting ethanol and coal while attacking petroleum
- Odd foreign policy positions
