Christina Romer <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christina_Romer>, 52, was
appointed by Barry Soetoro to be the chair of the White House Council of
Economic Advisers. After she [social]engineered Obama's and the Democratic
Congress' "job-creating" stimulus package, she quit and returned to being
Garff B. Wilson Professor of Economics (an endowed chair) at the University
of California, Berkeley.
The stimulus ended up decidedly unstimulating to the US economy. Instead,
according to none other than the Congressional Budget Office, the stimulus
cost the federal government another $787 billion in
deficits<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Recovery_and_Reinvestment_Act_of_2009#Congressional_Budget_Office_reports>
.
Last Friday Night, August 5, 2011, Romer decided she's now a comedienne and
used the crashing U.S. economy -- that she had a hand in crashing -- as her
"ha ha" act.
Appearing on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher”, Romer said that the S&P
credit downgrade was a sign that the country is *“pretty darn fucked.”* (at
the 0:29 mark)
At which, the audience laughed and laughed, and Romer's fat face scrunched
up in a big smile -- 'cause, you know, it's just so darn funny that America
our country is in such economic dire straits! Yuck, Yuck!

Then Romer* *says, “Policy would be better if we listened to the experts”
such as herself.
When foul-mouthed Maher lashes out at Romer for her dogged defense of the
president, saying to her, “Fuck you! He fucked up. He’s not your boyfriend,"
Romer defends Skippy: “He made lots of good decisions, and they were based
on science, they were based on the evidence, they were based on the best
evidence that he had.”
Then Romer declares that the problem with the stimulus is that “it should
have been even bigger” and recommends a second even bigger stimulus.
Einstein was right. Truly, insanity is doing the same thing over and over
again, and expecting different results.
