President Obama will address a joint session of Congress tonight. White House advisors say he'll be like a doctor telling a patient that, even though the illness is bad, there is medication, though it won't take effect right away. Christine Romer, Chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisors, used another metaphor, liking the economy to supertankers that “don't turn on a dime.” David Lightman is White House Correspondent for the McClatchy Newspapers.
