[EL PRESIDENTE]

that's what you get when you inspire people too much and they take it to mean EVERYTHING is going to totally change. Not surprising of the buyer's remorse, we have people who thought Obama money was going to pay for their homes and gas.

Summers Expected to Leave White House After Election

By Hans Nichols - Sep 21, 2010

White House officials expect Lawrence Summers to leave his job as the president’s National Economic Council director after November’s congressional elections, according to three people familiar with the matter.

His departure would leave Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner as the only member of President Barack Obama’s original top-tier economic team. Summers, 55, and the president have discussed his future plans, according to one person.

Administration officials are weighing whether to put a prominent corporate executive in the NEC director’s job to counter criticism that the administration is anti-business, one person familiar with White House discussions said. White House aides are also eager to name a woman to serve in a high-level position, two people said. They also are concerned about finding someone with Summers’ experience and stature, one person said.

I wonder if President Obama has called Carly Fiorina or Meg Whitman?

Looks like Summers did for the country what he did for Harvard.

Last November 10, with the economy and the Dow in free-fall, Faust e-mailed a worried letter to the university community. "Harvard is not invulnerable...," she wrote. "We need to be prepared to absorb unprecedented endowment losses." Just how bad was it? Faust couldn't say: Most of Harvard's endowment was tied up in illiquid investments whose values were fluctuating (i.e., plunging) daily. But Moody's, the financial ratings firm, was predicting a 30 percent decline for university endowments for the fiscal year that ends this month. In a subsequent letter, Faust went further, warning that a drop so precipitous seemed probable.

Such a plunge would claw the endowment back by more than $11 billion. Subtract the endowment's $1.4 billion contribution to the university's operating costs for this year—a contribution paid for in previous years by endowment returns, but which this time would represent a withdrawal—and Harvard would be left with $24.4 billion. As the old saying has it, "A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you're talking about real money." Especially since, up until recently, the university's expenses had grown as fast as its account balance. Over the past decade, Harvard spent money—on new construction, planning for a multibillion campus in Allston, land purchases, a major expansion of the professoriate, new financial aid programs, and general bureaucracy creep—as if the good times would never end. Combined with the shrunken endowment, that profligacy has Harvard facing ongoing deficits and needing to make budget cuts of hundreds of millions of dollars.

While the failed presidency of Lawrence Summers generated more headlines, this quiet crisis is actually a greater threat to Harvard.

He should call Mit Romney.

 

[maxiep]

He should call Mit Romney.

Mitt Romney a) isn't a female and b) isn't challenging a Democrat. However, on substance, I agree. Romney is a keen business mind.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

where's the first question..the unemployed lawyer. haha

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

here it is ...partially...need to find the full clip...before this was a long whiny diatribe: http://www.bing.com/videos/watch/video/is-the-american-dream-fading/3xi6pomc


what a fucking loser! haha

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

here's teh quote

AUDIENCE MEMBER: Good morning. Mr. President. My name is Ted Brassfield. I'm 30 years old, I recently graduated law school. I went back to law school to pursue a life of public service, like you have. And what I found is that I simply -- there aren't jobs out there right now. I took advantage of the loans that you were just speaking about, but I can't make the interest payments on those loans today, let alone think about getting a mortgage, having a family, having even a marriage -- all the expenses.

Like a lot of people in my generation, I was really inspired by you and by your campaign and message that you brought, and that inspiration is dying away. It feels like the American dream is not attainable to a lot of us, and what I'm really hoping to hear from you is several concrete steps that you're going to take moving forward that will be able to reignite my generation, reignite the youth who are beset by student loans. I really want to know, is the American dream dead for me?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

"a therapy session for disillusioned obama supporters"

 

[MARIS61]

What a pathetic, classless, whiny biatch.

Clearly has more money than 80% of her fellow DC'ers but finds the audacity to complain about her rough life (private school for her kids, a high-paying job she probably wasn't remotely qualified for but got anyway through affirmative action) and how she's "exhausted".

And somehow it's Obama's fault she hasn't won the lottery yet.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

HOPE AND CHANGE! FOR FREE SHIT SON!

I wonder how Peggy Joseph feels now?
