GOODWIN: Obama Hasn’t Spent Enough

Appearing Sunday on Meet the Press, liberal historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, said the problem with President Obama is that he hasn’t spent enough (which David Gregory agrees with): GOODWIN: “And he has to diagnose that what went wrong has gone wrong for 20 years, not just the last four years. The middle class has been squeezed for a long time because of an unfair structure because of lack of investment. And then you go forward with your diagnosis to the future.” GREGORY: “The problem is-” GOODWIN: “But you tell a story from beginning to middle to end.” GREGORY: “But part of that story, the Republicans seem to have done a pretty good job saying, no, government's not really the answer, even if, on the substance, a lot of people believe that the government is the only one to really inject more into the economy at this stage.”
