Saying One Thing, and Doing the Opposite

I was one who was happy to see photos of former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker on Obama's economic team. Volcker was an essential partner with President Reagan in stemming the run-away inflation Jimmy Carter was unable to deal with.

However, an article in the April 11-12 WSJ was discouraging. Volcker has not seen Obama in over a month. I think Obama just used him for photo ops. The presidential advisory board Obama asked him to chair has yet to meet. Obama announced the board on February 6, saying that the board would "meet regularly" with him. Another example of saying one thing and doing the opposite.

A trait Obama has honed to an art.
