The difference between the United States under Obama in an economic crisis, and the nation under FDR in the same state is that FDR was a blue blood from upstate New York. FDR could walk into the sanctums of the Rich and play hardball with them, and they would grudgingly listen. FDR's Elite peers may have despised him, but he saved their way of life. I'm sure the heirs of the Elites of FDR's day that Obama is faced with have no respect for the President at all, and view him as a gnat with a populist odor. Because of that fact, Obama will not be able to save their way of life this time.
It doesn't matter how many officials you bring in and debrief, they're just patsies. All of this struggle is being played out in amongst what remains of the US Government that isn't wholly owned and a cabal of Elites whose names we wouldn't even recognize. Remember, even Blankfein, Dimond and the other Lords of Wall Street are employees of someone ... despite their immense wealth they are owned too.
We need an FDR to navigate this crisis at the level that matters and we don't have one.
