O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name

A month ago I wrote that Obama was having trouble filling his commerce post: I Will Not Go Down With This Ship

It turns out Treasury is having the same issue – there aren’t enough democrats desperate enough to have That Won on their resume.

The fact that Treasury is having trouble staffing its upper 14 appointments below Geithner means that people in the know about Obama’s economic policies are running scared. They don’t want to get involved, even if they have hungered after those plum jobs their whole lives. That tells you what the savviest Democrats are thinking.

Why? Policy.

Even the Europeans are resisting hyper-deficits, because Europe always has that memory of the 1920s and 30s: hyperinflation, unemployment, crushing poverty and despair, followed by Hitler and Stalin. They are refusing to follow Obama down that road. If the dollar crashes, they don’t want the euro to go down with it.

When the socialistic economies of Europe think Obama’s policies are too far left…

Washington Democrats are having panic attacks. They know you can’t turn the country on a dime; either you end up shafting the economy and lose the House in 2010, or you get slapped in the face by Putin or Ahmadinejad and also lose the House in 2010.

The American people still haven’t quite figured this guy out, probably because they can’t believe their eyes and ears.

What – we didn’t warn you about his far-left associations? You didn’t get the Che Guevara memo? You didn’t take an inventory of the few times he voted as Senator?

The saner Left is beginning to worry out loud. Yes, Nancy the Eternally Youthful really believes she is “saving the Planet,” but her House members are seeing their numbers tanking, and they have to start running this year to get re-elected next year.  Harry Reid is one of the nastiest characters in DC, but he is a survivor. Somebody is going to hit the brakes, and then an almighty struggle will break out on the Left.

The nations largest economy and sole superpower is now a lady in waiting for her savior – the saner left.

Harry Reid?

This might be a good time to panic.

…or at least sweep out a corner in the basement and start looking for sales on canned goods.
