http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/23/politics/waterboarding-trump-mattis/

Excerpt: "General Mattis is a strong, highly dignified man. I met with him at length and I asked him that question. I said, 'What do you think of waterboarding?'" Trump told The New York Times on Tuesday. "He said -- I was surprised -- he said, 'I've never found it to be useful.' He said, 'I've always found, give me a pack of cigarettes and a couple of beers and I do better with that than I do with torture.'"

Alan: The economic recovery under Obama has not been as robsut as other post-war recoveries. But in the wake of Bush-Cheney's economic death spiral, it was a miracle he turned the country around at all. There are no crystal balls but I predict an intractable recession in the next two years.
