On Goolsbee

An avid NBfPB reader who also contributes over at SayAnything (as do I) has a great post up on the departure of Austan Goolsbee from the Obama White House economic team. As Bat One notes, it is obvious poppycock that Goolsbee is leaving to preserve his tenure at U of Chicago. You don't take a job knowing you have leave nine months later. Goolsbee is abandoning the sinking ship.

Aside: is it just me or is even the Obama administration's bullshit amateurishly incompetent??
