It was 80 years ago today...

48. It looks like this is an official new meme of the Council on Foreign Relations crowd, actually.

But as President Obama took office, the Council on Foreign Relations was cranking up a remarkably one-sided conference purporting to be a "Second Look at the Great Depression and the New Deal." Ms. Shlaes was a prominent participant, as was the Council's co-chair, one Robert Rubin, whose myriad protégés thronged the Obama Treasury and economic councils.

Whether our highly intellectual president picked up the idea by reading it or hearing somebody else say it, it was, and is, in the air. And you can be sure that his words will now be rattling around for years to come and likely cited as proof of Franklin D. Roosevelt's "irresponsibility."

Hard to believe those big shots could have forgotten "The first 100 days". In fact, I don't believe they did; I believe they're purposefully revising history for their own reasons.
