I just heard Krugman tell Keith Olberman that Obama's speeches sound a lot like those from Herbert Hoover in 1932. "It's really quite depressing," he added, with no apparent sense of irony.
Hoover = Obama.
Why didn't I think of that?
Update (8/04): Happy birthday, Dear Mr. President.
I thought I was being clever and unique in referring to Mr. Hopey-Changey in Hooverian* terms. But a few seconds with TEH GOOGLY has disabused me of that mistaken notion.
Other references provide quotes and react in a range from the quizzical to the severely misguided** (though very well written) to deep disappointment to something bordering on despair. I am not alone.
