Charles Dickens and Obama: if the President could be visited by three ghosts ---

[elehhhhna]

a'la Mr. Scrooge -- which ghosts should he expect, and what might they say?

[Dennis Donovan]

1. Jefferson, FDR and LBJ...

Jefferson would remind him that our government is BY and FOR the people (and not the powerful elite)

FDR would remind him how important banking and Wall Street regs are and would push him to reinstate Glass-Steagal

LBJ would teach him how to run the Congress from the White House

3. +1

LBJ could also point out what mistakes not to make when a president inherits an unpopular war... :-(

5. Jefferson might be problematic, as a slaveowner... ;)

2. Lincoln, FDR, and JFK... Maybe they'd be able to get his head out of his ass and into some action

4. Teddy Roosevelt with his big stick.. no need for words. n/t
