Five minutes after Obama is sworn in

One of the many astute commentators at the Calculated Risk blog, in response to the John Stewart video of the 10:20 a.m. simultaneous and entirely incompatible pronouncements on the economy by the optimister MBA in chief and the downer Fed PhD had these comments, which are likely to prove remarkably prescient, if Obama is elected:
