Obamanomics
While there may be some notable and annoying gaps in Obama's economics plan, like his strange demurral of free-trade agreements and his not-so-infrequent pandering to nonsensical union interests, it is a mostly reasonable plan from a purely economic perspective. It is not necessarily clear that McCain is significantly better. Moreover, the Obama camp's recent courting of Clinton-era economics advisors gives additional hope.
In this context, a recent interview between conservative commentator Larry Kudlow and Obama's top economics advisor Austan Goolsbee is too precious to not post. It is fairly clear who is more intelligent here--or at least who is the better debater. As a side note, during his days as an undergraduate at Yale, Mr. Goolsbee was runner up for the American Parliamentary Debate Association's Team of the Year (where I compete). In high school he was the first competitor in extemporaneous speaking history to go through the entire year winning only first. Mr. Kudlow ain't got nothin' on that.
