Obama's Katrina

Mickey Kaus of Slate Magazine says this of the Boston Globe's article Obama's Katrina:
"It's the most damaging article about Barack Obama I've read . . ."



Grim proving ground for Obama's housing policy

Is there a bigger Petri dish for corrupt incompetence than the "public-private partnership"? (Think cable TV franchises.) But the Globe account does seem to capture what's most likely to be wrong with an Obama administration. After all, Obama's career has been unusually limited for a presidential contender. Housing and "community development" has been a big part of it. If the result has been a disaster in which Obama's friends made lots of money while his poor constituents lived in dangerous squalor, that seems like a big warning sign, no?
