re: #458 reine.de.tout

It’s a terrible thing that so many people will be so devestated economically. I reminds me most of the Dust Bowl. I think that it’s entirely possible that Obama is overreacting, and in doing so, committing a grave mistake.

I do not agree with you that he’s doing this to score political points. He is getting attacked from all sides at once on this. From everywhere, and everyone. I think that Obama is enforcing this moratorium because he believes it is the right thing to do, and believes that because people he trusts have told him it is the right thing to do.

It may be a terrible decision, and it may be a tragic one. But I don’t see any reason to immediately conclude it’s just politics to him.
