Bush administration veterans former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill and former Securities and Exchange Commissioner William Donaldson will join former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, and more traditionally Democratic economic advisers such as former Clinton Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, billionaire liberal Warren Buffett, AFL-CIO President John Sweeney, and SEIU Secretary-Treasurer Anna Burger.
Didn't Obama say he was going to start to focus on the economy today? I guess this is a kick off anouncement. I wonder if McCain is still talking to his economic guru Phil Gramm?
Volkner. He's the guy Jimmy Carter appointed to head the Federal Reserve. He's the one that caused the Black Monday recession under Reagan. And he's the one that ended the run away inflation that began under Carter's administration.
He's done good and bad. At least he understands the Fed's role in causing inflation.
I'll see your Sinister Levantine and raise you two Gotta-Be-Episcopalians.
"[O'Neill and Donaldson] aren't your run of the mill Neo-Con Spend and Burn GOP types... these are two rogue former officials now out of favor with the GOP who certainly know what went wrong, from the inside, and likely know 'where the bodies are buried'. This is nothing short of a coup by Obama's team in positioning his team/perspective. He'll now hopefully gain new fresh insights in how to critique the BushCo economy and its failings."
