A touch of paralysis?
[Q] - The game of “fantasy cabinet” has begun as pundits and voters
mull over the choices for key posts in the new Obama administration.
But those are the only cabinet picks right now. Barack Obama seems
content to take weeks to name his Treasury secretary and critical
national security spots.
For now the media remains smitten and there is little criticism of his
deliberative process. But events have a way of taking hold. The stock
market has been on the skids. Some attribute this to gnawing
uncertainty about the Obama presidency and questions about who will
fill the Treasury spot. Larry Kudlow writes:
Some folks think the stock market is stalking Obama, whose
defining moment may be a GM bailout. Plus, investors are waiting for a
new Treasury appointee who will shed light on Obama’s tax and trade
threats for 2009 as well as his UAW rescue mission that is so strongly
favored by Speaker Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Policies protecting ailing industries would certainly set a France-
like tone for the new administration...
