Recommended - The Big Test

I highly recommend David Brook's Op Ed piece The Big Test in today's New York Times. I think he has expressed the fundamental worry that many of us have, which is that even though we admire President Obama's clear, rational thinking, and the brilliance of the experts he has assembled around him, we wonder if anyone really knows how to handle this "perfect storm" of problems, and if we are perhaps just digging ourselves into a deeper hole in our urgent attempts to get out.
