JG fruitlessly opines:
True, true enough. But are either of the candidates "thinking about what sort of renegotiation would help Mexico"? Of course not, as you would readily admit... and nor would a perspicacious observer such as you or me (if I may flatter the two of us) expect them to... so why then, the inordinate time and energy devoted to chasing the Obama phantasm? Well, I guess we all have our insalubrious private reasons... God knows my life circurmstances are wedging me into a pathetic corner (having little to do with US bourgeois electoral endorsements).
PS Regarding your upcoming interview with Goolsbee, forgive me for rushing to judgment, but how could you even stand to be in the same room as that peachfuzz sack of shit? He represents everything that is WRONG with policy wonk mainstream academia... and you can print that a million times over and stamp it on my forehead, my "career" be damned.
