...that every radio was tuned in to hear F.D.R.'s speech. You could walk down the streets of the city and hear F.D.R.'s voice. It was like being among the largest listening audience assembled in the history of the earth - at least at that time. Judging from the size of the crowds and the hype and buzz he has generated, Obama has reached new heights. Is Obama another F.D.R., who will lead us out of this depression? Who will lead us into a political promised land? He sure feels like it. Melvin H. Kirschner, Granada Hills, Calif...
...sight. But I quickly forgot why I ever believed such joints were necessary when I discovered Mecca itself: La Maison du Chocolat. Too hungry to focus on row after row of ganache, truffle, or caramel, I proceeded directly to the macaron counter and promptly ordered an individual-size framboise from behind the glass.This coaster-size sandwich of chocolate-raspberry filling squeezed between two rose-colored raspberry meringue wafers should be illegal.

The exact size can be measured in various ways. He controls a 13 million-name e-mail list, which is nearly the size of the NRA and the AFL-CIO combined. Three million people have given him money; 2 million have created profiles on Obama's social-networking site. More than 1.2 million volunteered for the campaign, which has trained about 20,000 in the business...
...that speed and size aren't important. We're in a death spiral: businesses are shedding workers at a record pace, which saps consumer spending, which leads to more layoffs, and so on. The public sector needs to get an awful lot of unemployed workers and equipment back to work ASAP. As Christina Romer, an expert on the Depression who will chair Obama's Council of Economic Advisers, warns in a new YouTube video, we can't "let that vicious cycle go all the way to the nightmare scenario." In fact, many Keynesian liberals have been dismissing the Obama proposal...
