You’re right, Roy. Apparently Coach K labors under the same misapprehension as most Americans that the president can fix a bad economy if he just devotes enough time to the problem.
It’s not a matter of time on task. It’s a matter of having the insight and guts to say to the people, “The government’s policies have created a very bad situation and it will take time for adjustments to take place, adjustments that will put resources back to work where they are most needed. Politics can’t do that. The best the federal government can do is to smooth the recession — the adjustment process — by cutting taxes, cutting spending, and repealing laws that get in the way.”
So far, I have seen neither insight nor guts from Obama.
