Obama Econ

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:

  1. Raising taxes on some and lowering for others.
  2. Promoting ethanol and coal while attacking petroleum
  3. Odd foreign policy positions

google_sm.gifGoogle certainly is on top of the industry, planning to release their own web browser only a week after Microsoft launced IE8.

It has always been interesting that while Mozilla’s Firefox browser commands only 19% market share compared to Microsoft’s 70%, there is no doubt that Firefox has been adopted by a particular subset of web-surfers. A uniquely current site like BoingBoing or Gizmodo for instance, may see up to half of its traffic originating from Firefox browsers. This speaks not only to early adopters, but also the uniquely web-savvy.

No doubt, Google’s Chrome browser may replace both at astonishing speeds.
