Near the end of this morning's Today's Show interview, Matt Lauer asks Barack Obama whether or not he believes the U.S. economy is headed for a recession. I'm not sure why Lauer would ask this question in the first place, considering recent economic news, but he did. There's always the danger of recession, I suppose, especially when there's a major crisis on Wall Street and energy prices are increasing. Anyway, Obama has rightfully spent a lot of time this week attacking Hillary Clinton for waffling on the issues. So how does he answer Lauer's question? He waffles! He doesn't say whether or not he thinks the economy is headed toward recession, opting for some standard anti-Bush boilerplate. Lauer calls him on it, but Obama continues to dodge ... exactly like Clinton dodged questions regarding issuing driving licenses to illegal immigrants during Tuesday's Democratic debate.
