Decades ago, we had another president who came into power during an economic crisis, who also had no idea what he was doing and engaged instead in "bold, persistent experimentation"--with his only absolute being that he would not let the free market work. That was FDR. The result? The economic crisis lasted another decade and actually deepened under his leadership. If Obama's speech is what a cipher sounds like, the Great Depression is the kind of result that is produced when an ambitious cipher attempts to offer vigorous leadership.
The after glow appears to be fading!
