So who is this WOMAN that Obama has chosen to head his council of economic advisers? Politico has an unbiased look of Christina Romer, MIT grad, Berkley professor who will make "natural allies" with Lawrence Sumners. Sumners, who was also just appointed as an economic adviser, once was Romer's professor. This is not the only connection drawn, former chariman-Greg Mankiw, was best man in Romer's wedding! I am thinking these links are made for a reason.
She seems to be a perfect selection considering her dissertation was on the Great Depression. Although the LATimes doesn't indicate any kudos for Obama's selection, they do remind us that the nominations have to be confirmed by the Senate.
