What can you possibly object to in the rather anodyne but accurate
account that Arianna offers?<br>
<br>
E.g., "<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse:
separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Times; font-style:
normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing:
normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px;
text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2;
word-spacing: 0px; font-size: medium;"><span
class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);
font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:
12px; line-height: 15px;">We have had endless conversations
about jobs will be our priority, jobs will be our focus, but it
is not really happening. The president asks for all ideas. We
have all been screaming many ideas, you know Republican,
Democrats, from payroll tax holiday to a really serious
infrastructure and jobs program to a green bank and to an
infrastructure bank, to tax credits for small businesses. The
ideas are out there. What is missing is that sense of urgency
and the political will."<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><br>
<br>
That's obviously correct. The only objectionable point I see here
(and Arianna has elsewhere offered objectionable points, I admit) is
her apparent enthusiasm for Arne Duncan. I hope she's right about
him, but a lot of people don't think so. <br>
<br>
Was there anything else? --CGE<br>
