Obama is the real Herbert Hoover

Thanks to the Club for Growth for passing along this video of an interview that lines up both sides of the bailout debate pretty well. About halfway through, the hapless Sen. Chuck Schumer says Sen. Jim Demint sounds like "Herbert Hoover in 1929." If the interviewer knew her history she would have stopped him on that. Hoover was a big-government Republican who rammed through tariffs that choked off trade and massive tax increases that killed growth.

Sounds a lot like our guy Barry.
