...There's just one problem with Europe's position: it's far from certain Washington is going to accept strict new regulations imposed on the U.S. economy by outsiders.

"There's an enduring view in the U.S. that the national economy is a powerful machine that crashes every now and again, but which eventually fixes itself and roars back to the front...
President Barack Obama often induces comparison to Abraham Lincoln. However, his recent announcement of a budget schedule that slices the deficit by one-half aligns him with a less celebrated commander-in-chief: Herbert Hoover.

Would a large audience have invested a whole evening in the outcome of the presidential election if the only excitement was in hearing Brian Williams announce, "And the White House goes to ... Barack Obama!" - not which states he won, or how few votes determined the margin of victory in Virginia or Indiana? And the Super Bowl - would 100 million people watch it if the halftime show were virtually the whole show and, at the end, John Madden said, "The Steelers won," instead of, "This...
