Arianna Huffington and James K. Galbraith are pessimistic about the Obama Administration's ability to handle the growing unemployment crisis.
Huffington wonders if unemployment will be President Obama's Katrina and Galbraith notes the structural barriers to enacting policies necessary to improve employment in the short term.
