Not a great time for a "president in training"

Sam Zell, owner of the Tribune Company, which owns the Chicago Cubs, Chicago Tribune, and L.A. Times, predicts that within five years, delivery of newspapers will be via devices such as Amazon's Kindle Reader. He was quoted in the Denver Post by reporter Margaret Jackson as saying, "It's time for Washington to focus on the economy and stop creating massive programs with unintended consequences." Zell was giving a speech in Boulder,where he also said, "I don't think this is a great time to have a president-in-training." Can I hear an amen?
