Remember during the campaign how Obama would spout everywhere how he gets his economic advice from Warren Buffet ? Well, Buffet did support Obama, but wasn't exactly an advisor and its not clear that they have spoken much at all. Buffet on CNBC yesterday said he had not been speaking to or giving Obama advice about the economic crisis, but had spoken to some people that know Obama.
In any event, Buffet had this to say:
If you're in a war, and we really are on an economic war, there's a obligation to the majority to behave in ways that don't go around inflaming the minority. If on December 8th when—maybe it's December 7th, when Roosevelt convened Congress to have a vote on the war, he didn't say, `I'm throwing in about 10 of my pet projects...
Buffet made other similar comments to the effect of what many others have been saying; focus on the economic crisis; backburner all the other stuff (big liberal spending agenda, higher taxes, health care, etc.)/
