Bush's disappearing act during the economic crisis is a fitting coda to a failed presidency

This morning President-elect Obama will unveil the "President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board" to be chaired by 81-year-old Paul Volker, former Federal Reserve Chair under Presidents Carter and Reagan.

Detroit isn't dead yet

As Washington clashes over a Big Three bailout, it's ignoring the best cure to the automakers' ills: Universal healthcare


There is your major unfair advantage that foreign car companies have...except those who make cars in USA USA!


    Nov. 26, 2008 | LANSING, Mich. -- Every Thanksgiving, I sit down to dinner with Everett Ketchum, a retired tool-and-die maker for General Motors. And every Thanksgiving, I tell him that he's the reason the auto industry is going broke.

Is Obama president yet?

And who's that other guy in the White House? As George Bush continues his vanishing act, Barack Obama steps into the spotlight, two months early, to calm a jittery nation

Obama's Foreign Policy: It Depends What You Mean by "Pragmatic"



A few weeks ago, together with my Times colleague Helene Cooper, I interviewed retired Marine Gen. James Jones, so it's nice to see him confidently tipped for National Security Advisor. He is an impressive person with a heroic resume. He spent most of his childhood and youth in France, beginning in 1947. He has a great deal of experience in Europe, where as a military professional he operated under a number of acronyms, my favorite being SACEUR. It looks like a French term for "grocery bagger" but stands for Supreme Allied Commander - Europe, and is one of those things - there are so many! - that acquired its identity in the course of the Second World War and kept it, and kept it...

Jones has experience as well in Afghanistan, Africa (about which he is well informed) and the Middle East; on the last, he conveyed, somewhat to my surprise, a practical-minded optimism regarding a two-state solution. And if you can judge a person by his admirers, then Jones will excel as advisor. My one concern was that, as a 40-year military man, he tended to speak of the world as divided into Eucom, Africom, Socom, Centcom, etc. He seemed a hair too comfortable with the notion of generals administering the world. That culture tends to substitute can-do for should-do, which is often the opposite of what a national security advisor ought to be about.

The Financial Times


    US stocks made advances on Wednesday as the market shrugged off largely disappointing economic data and reacted positively to President-elect Barack Obama’s latest appointments to his economic team.
