Your Abbreviated Pundit Round-up
Daily Kos — Sunday punditry... and time for some lessons learned - or not. Frank Rich: The tsunami of populist rage coursing through America is bigger than Daschle’s overdue tax bill, bigger than John Thain’s trash can, bigger than any bailed-out C.E.O.’s bonus. It’s even bigger than the Obama phenomenon itself. It could maim the president’s best-laid plans and what remains of our economy if he doesn’t get in front of the mounting public anger. Nicholas Kristof: ...

Frank Rich Warns Obama
The Page by Mark Halperin — ... NY Times opinionmeister says the new president must wake up to the "tsunami of populist rage coursing through America" over tax cheats, bank bailouts, CEO pay and more.       ...

Frank Rich on Obama's "Katrina moment"
The Reaction — ... And, at home, what we're talking about is mass populist anger, a far more challenging surge to contain than even the devastating floodwaters of the Gulf. "Six weeks ago I wrote in this space that the country's surge of populist rage could devour the president's best-laid plans," writes Rich, who is right that Obama and even more his team, notably Geithner and Summers, do not quite seem to grasp the enormity of that rage, nor the justification for it. I would rather not lump Obama in with Geithner and Summers, for I do think Obama understands, but ...
