"In 2009 and '10, we did not put together a robust recovery bill, and we stayed in recession for too many years. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., identified two lessons from the Obama era, when he was the caucus' third-in-command: Err on the side of going big on crisis relief, and don't waste time. But Joe Biden and his administration and the Democrats - this time they know what's coming." "You see Mitch McConnell's Republicans running the same playbook. "The biggest lesson learned is that Mitch McConnell doesn't act in good faith," said David Litt, a former speechwriter for Obama. those mistakes again'Īnother difference is how the two presidents dealt with the opposition leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who held the same position in Obama's early years and famously said in 2010 that his top priority was to make him a one-term president.

"The instincts of that administration were: We're not going be populist-oriented or interested in taking on big fights with capital," said Faiz Shakir, an adviser to Sen. “The single most serious economic problem we face is getting people back to work,” he said, but, “we’re going to get there.” He said he was optimistic about the future.Some progressives say Obama needlessly picked business-friendly officials for top positions, such as Summers and former Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, who contributed to a culture of hesitation to take on Wall Street and avoided simple populism on issues like foreclosure relief.
