Economist Endorsement

January 31st, 2008 by HowardG · No Comments

I won’t reproduce the entire article right here, but an endorsement came out today which may be particularly interesting for those of us at the b-school - Former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker endorsed Senator Obama.  Take a look at http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2008/01/31/volcker-i-endorse-obama/

I’m generally unimpressed with lists of endorsement as they often speak more to the politics of a situation, rather than to issues or experience - I doubt, though, that Chairman Volcker at the tender age of 81 or so is angling for a position in an Obama Whitehouse… Seeing as he hasn’t endoresed a primary candidate in at least the last 25 years, it seems to indicate that Chairman Volker believes Senator Obama is really going to bring a type of leadership that we haven’t seen before and that he believes Obama has the requisite experience to assume the Presidency.
