Augustine lives!

In today's NY Times, Christy Romer opines on "What Obama Should Say about the Deficit". Her idea is along the lines of "Lord, grant me chastity, but not yet".

Here's the exact quote:

"He should make clear that the issue is spending and taxes over the coming decades, not spending in 2011"

Wow, "the coming decades". So spending will become an issue in 2021? Good to know.

I actually hope Obama does NOT follow her advice, as the current pool of Republican candidates is so mutant that I am hoping President O can get hisself re-elected.

Telling America that spending won't be an issue for the rest of his first term and all of his second term is not a path to electoral success.
