NY Times columnist Frank Rich boldly stated in his weekend OP-ED Column that despite being in office for only 62 days, President Barack Obama has already reached his “Katrina Moment”. Saying “A charming visit with Jay Leno won’t fix it. A 90 percent tax on bankers’ bonuses won’t fix it. Firing Timothy Geithner won’t fix it. Unless and until Barack Obama addresses the full depth of Americans’ anger with his full arsenal of policy smarts and political gifts, his presidency and, worse, our economy will be paralyzed. President Obama may not realize it yet, but his Katrina moment has arrived.”
`
President Obama will address the nation tomorrow via a nationally televised press conference, and his words are expected to be critical in the success or failure of both our economy and his presidency. But with all the Obama administration inherited from 8 years of George W. Bush, is “Katrina Moment” a fair assessment? Is it right for the country to expect quick fixes and instant miracles almost overnight, or is it more realistic for the public to be more patient? Is President Obama and his team doing all it can as quickly as it can to fix our economic disasters, or are they failing miserably? YOU DECIDE!
