Jeffrey Sachs:  “So we’re almost three years into this administration and there’s never been

a plan and that’s what everybody feels. The president didn’t lead. He waited. The

quintessential image sadly of the administration that I supported and hoped for much bette

is the president waiting by the phone to hear what Congress calls to tell him. It doesn’t work

in this country that way, it’s not a matter that it’s August, it’s a matter that it’s August 2011.

So we’ve been drifting for a very long time and we’ve been drifting down now. And we had

short term plan that failed. A short term stimulus that was supposed to get the economy

back on track but it failed. And now we have nothing behind it. And we have no agreements

and no leadership and frankly, I do think it’s pretty odd the president’s on vacation right 

now. Normally, I wouldn’t care about such things, but the world markets are in deep crisis.It’s no joke, this isn’t just an August up and down little blip, this is a very serious situation. ”(MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” 8/19/11)
