Don't Forget the Economists Who Predicted This Crisis.

Barack Obama said he is influenced by, "a wonderful book written by Doris Kearns Goodwin called Team of Rivals, in which she talked about how Lincoln basically pulled in all the people who had been running against him into his Cabinet because whatever, you know, personal feelings there were, the issue was, 'How can we get this country through this time of crisis?'" Obama went on to say, "And so, I am very practical minded. I'm a practical-minded guy. And, you know, one of my heroes is Abraham Lincoln."

Let's hope President-elect Obama will not only listen to the many who caused this financial crisis, but that he will also incorporate the ideas of those who predicted this crisis.
