Marc Ambinder:
One Question I Might Ask Obama....
On politics and the economy: your administration has said that furor over the AIG bonuses is, while understandable, a quote-end-quote -- distraction - from the real issues. But weren't those embers stoked by your own administration...before the AIG issue.....attempting to shift the debate in Washington from fixing the economy to punishing Wall Street?
Are you concerned that your rhetoric about anger, and particularly, anger against Wall Street, helped enflame public anger and distract attention from the economy's real problems?
Wouldn't it be better to ask a question that focuses on “the economy's real problems” rather than one that distracts attention from them?
