The question is: how many Americans want business as usual. We will  
learn this year.

It's been out there for a long time. He first consulted Goolsbee when  
he was running for the Senate. Alan Keyes suggested that black  
Americans should be given financial reparations for slavery. Obama  
asked Goolsbee how much that would cost. Goolsbee responded with two  
answers: "hard to tell," and "a lot." We know the result of that  
campaign.

I "consult" with a huge number of authors. That does not mean I agree  
with all their viewpoints. That only means I have an open, inquisitive  
mind and seek information so I can make sound decisions.
