Obama's economic speech today!
Obama, Spider Man Appear in Inauguration Marvel Comic from Huffington Post
"Spider-Man has a new sidekick: The president-elect. Barack Obama collected Spider-Man comics as a child, so Marvel Comics wanted to give him a "shout-out back" by featuring him in a bonus story, said Joe Quesada, Marvel's editor-in-chief."
Obama's Impressive New OLC Chief (Glenn Greenwald) from Salon.com
"Other than Attorney General-designate Eric Holder and Obama himself, there is probably no official who will have a more significant role in determining the extent to which the Obama administration really does reverse the lawlessness and legal radicalism of the Bush years."
FDR a Model for Obama? (Tony Badger, a noted historian) from the Nation
"The Hundred Days were to a large extent an accident. Roosevelt had to deal with the immediate crisis that had closed most of the nation's banks, but he took advantage of it by asking Congress to stay in session to pass unprecedented recovery and reform legislation."
W. and the Damage Done from Salon
"President Bush inherited a peaceful, prosperous America. As he exits, Salon consults experts in seven fields to try to assess the devastation."
Writing the Rules for a New World (Fareed Zakaria) from Newsweek
"Today's problems ignore national boundaries. The world needs smart management that does the same."
The Gifted Ones from The Root
"Obama's top-shelf cabinet shows how much we have changed."
Obama Assembled Powerful West Wing from the Washington Post
"Presidents have long strived to centralize influence in the White House, often to the frustration of their Cabinet secretaries. But not since Richard Nixon tried to abolish the majority of his Cabinet has a president gone so far in attempting to build a West Wing-based clutch of advisers with a mandate to cut through -- or leapfrog -- the traditional bureaucracy."
Obama's Challenge: Be Urgent But Hopeful from the Boston Globe
"President-elect Barack Obama faces a delicate task today as he pitches his economic recovery plan in a major address: He must underscore the urgency of the recession without further unsettling the nation's shaky financial system."
Obama Finds Opportunity in Crisis from Politico
"Crisis and opportunity, those are two of the most enduring messages threaded throughout Barack Obama’s plan to revive the nation’s ailing economy."
The Heavens will Judge Bush Harshly from El Tiempo [of Colombia in English]
"During his hair-raising eight-year term in office, he murdered diplomacy, pulverized human rights, plundered the confidence people had in him, incited hatred and devastated a beautiful nation. … as a committed Catholic, I believe that he won't be able to escape justice up there."
Move Over Boomer Presidents, A New Generation Takes Charge from the McClatchy News Service
"Half a century later, after voters under 30 backed him in record numbers, Barack Obama will "pass the torch" to another new generation: The children of the boomers, most of them born after 1980, known as "millennials." They, like the president-elect, have little patience for the simmering feuds and nasty partisanship of their elders."
A Page from the Hoover Playbook (Harold Meyerson) from the Washington Post
"As the nation navigates through the most perilous straits it has seen since the 1930s, policymakers are looking back to the '30s to see which of the paths that Depression-era America embarked upon actually led toward recovery. Well, some of our policymakers. Others, it seems, have seized upon the very policies that deepened the Depression and are repackaging them as solutions for our time."
