Welcome To My Nightmare?

In a speech that lasted three minutes and utilized two heavy-duty teleprompters, President Obama introduced Alan Krueger as the head of the White House Council of Economic Advisers.

He might as well have put Freddy Krueger in the position, because I don't think he could hack up the economy anymore than Obama and crew have already done.

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

Krueger, Alan, is from Princeton University.

Just like his predecessor Austan Goolsbee, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and other economic advisers such as Larry Summers and Christina Romer, Krueger is someone else from the Ivy League.

Here's what Thomas Sowell had to say about Obama and his Ivy Leaguers on Christmas Eve 2008 --

People who are impressed by how many of Barack Obama's advisors have Ivy League degrees seem not to remember how many people with Ivy League degrees mismanaged the Vietnam war and how many people with Ivy League degrees mismanaged economic policy during the Great Depression of the 1930s.

Also as telling, from the same column -- Ronald Reagan had a vision of America. Barack Obama has a vision of Barack Obama.
