I was reading this article at Politico which compared US Airways flight 1549 to the current economic crisis. In particular, it attempted to extract some lessons from Capt. Sullenberger's handling of the situation and suggest actions Obama should take to deal with the economy. Does this strike anyone as ridiculous? Because it sure does to me.
A jet airliner with no thrust at 3,200 feet in the sky is WAY different than the economy and the president's ability to affect anything is not even close to the direct control a pilot has over his plane. In fact, I'm fairly certain that our government is constructed in the manner it is precisely to avoid having one person with that much power.
I say, nice attempt at trying to capitalize on the flight 1549 hype, but it just doesn't work.
