Thursday's Daily Brief

2010-09-09       The Daily Brief     Robert L. Borosage: The Chamber of Commerce: Without Shame or Sense AP Robert L. Borosage: One would think that in the ruins it created, the Chamber of Commerce would have the common decency to reconsider its ideological positions. After all, they have not only been ruinous to workers and the country, they led directly to the economic free fall that devastated businesses. But no. Not one comma has been changed. Not a line changed in the stump speech. Mindless, without shame or sense, blind to the world around it, the Chamber gathers new millions from companies and peddles its poisonous nostrums.

At the foundation, it's very clear we can't do this alone. This was how we created the idea for the "Future We'll Make" photo campaign. Dean Baker: Ben Bernanke's Trifecta of Errors The country is paying an enormous cost for Ben Bernanke's errors. In any other line of work any one of his errors would be huge enough to have someone drummed out of the profession. Donna Marsh O'Connor: The Sensitivities of 9/11 Families Until something in our public imagination displaces it, 9/11 will be a political football in the debate over the Islamic Center. Central to this debate, it seems, is the question of what constitutes "sensitivity" to 9/11 families. Amitai Etzioni: Needed: A Social Security Holiday It is time for a Hail Mary pass. The Democrats cannot lose much worse in November than they are now slated to suffer if they come out with a strong "pro-growth, the hell with the deficit now" message. Mayhill Fowler: He Is Not One of Us In consideration of Obama's atypical American upbringing, I marvel at the O-team's former confidence that the public would be satisfied with their candidate's sparse remarks in public about his parents.     HuffPost News Obama Refuses To Say He'd Veto Extension Of Bush Tax Cuts For Wealthy Arthur Sulzberger: 'We Will Stop Printing The New York Times Sometime In The Future' 10 American Industries That Will Never Recover: 24/7 Wall Street (PHOTOS) Sarah Palin: Burning Quran 'Antithetical To American Ideals' Tom Brady Car Accident: Patriots QB Crashes In Boston   Get HuffPost on your iPhone!   ©2010 HuffingtonPost.com, Inc.

President Barack Obama voiced support for White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel for Chicago mayor in an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, but said not to expect a decision until after Nov. 2. “I think he would be an excellent mayor. He is an excellent chief of staff,” Obama said. “[T]he one thing I've always been impressed with about Rahm is that when he has a job to do, he focuses on the job in front of him. And so my expectation is, he'd make a decision after these midterm elections. … I think he’d be a terrific mayor.”
