On Obama and the Economic News - James Fallows - Politics - The Atlantic: "Let's hope that this week's 'we can save our way out of a recession' talk by Obama was a lapse. Otherwise we've got a reverse-sweet-spot combination of tragically misguided economics and self-defeating politics. Next year no one will care whether Obama was 'reasonable' rather than 'partisan' in this budget showdown with Boehner, Cantor, McConnell, Ryan, et al. People will care about whether they're employed or not, and will judge him mainly on those grounds."
