Hopefully Obama won't cave to the pressure to enact another Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act... That would hurt the world economy.

Though it's not surprising to see pressure for passing protectionist laws in a recession (that, as it seems, it's starting to end).

No he will not. I had once told it here "When real politics start it does not matter if it is Obama or Bush"
