i will give a short introduction to gene sperling who does not needed introduction either. he cut his political teeth in the 1988 dukakis campaign and on the staff of mario cuomo before joining the 1992 clinton campaign as a policy adviser. during clinton's first term as president, he served as deputy director of the new the created national economic council. he was director of the national economic council from 1996 to 2000. he played significant roles in the 1993 deficit reduction act and the 1997 balanced budget agreement. i guess we have deja vu with the difference. those who remember his service in the clinton administration recall his effective and efficient workaholic ways. the nickname "gene the machine" comes from that time. his office was known as the bureau of gene. now he has to pull the genie out of the bottle. he was known to manage policy and press in a way that you can. it has been said that his highest talent is an extraordinary ability to make policy arguments in a way that makes them convincing to the message people and legislative people. he certainly ne
