Obama Nominates America’s Biggest Walmart Cheerleader as His Chief Economic Advisor
Lynn Stuart Parramore |Senior Editor
Progressives may be unhappy about Obama's choice, but conservatives are tickled pink. Over at the American Enterprise Institute, home to the country's most fervent free-market fundamentalists, no fewer than 11 economists haveannounced their support for the Jason Furman nomination:
"We are pleased that President Obama ... nominated ... Furman ...Although we often disagree with the administration's policies and differ with Jason on a number of issues, we respect him as a superb analytical economist. If the Senate confirms his nomination to be the president's chief economic adviser, we are confident that he will serve the president and the nation with distinction.
'Nuff said.
