At his inaugural address, FDR said the only thing we have to fear is fear itself, as he rallied Americans to rise out of the doldrums of the Great Depression. (Never mind that FDR's policies might have made the Great Depression last longer than necessary. That's a post for another date.) The point is that he was an eternal optimist and projected that to the American people.
Well, I guess Barack Obama is no FDR. In an op-ed in today's Washington Post, President Obama says that if Congress doesn't immediately pass his stimulus bill that "Our nation will sink deeper into a crisis that, at some point, we may not be able to reverse."
Way to sell hope and change President Obama. Didn't you campaign by saying that President Bush's politics of fear was wrecking our country?
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
