Random complaint – If you can’t drive and talk on your cell how do you expect walk and talk. Really, pay attention to what you are doing.
Tim Geitner speaks, says nothing
Did you listen to what Tim Geitner said this morning regarding next step of the bailout? If you did, you’ll notice that he said nothing at all – nothing the general public didn’t know before the press conference.
The whole conference can be summed up in this one line: We are not going to put out details, until we get it right
Investors were expecting direction from the government; they were expecting a plan, but got nothing. As a result, the market is down over 350 points. While the current administration is significantly better at speaking with “one voice”, that is to say providing a consistent message from all offices, they are still guilty of speaking without having a point.
If you don’t know what action you are going to take, don’t hold a press conference. Uncertainty creates fear, and fear continues to drive the market….
Steroids
Alex Rodriguez used steroids. Ok, so?
If he used a banned substance the MLB association should address the issue. Have all societal concerns of been addressed to the point where Congress needs to get involved?
I mean, really?
Chris Brown?
Who is Chris Brown and why should I give a crap if he is beating the hell out of some pop-tart?
Abuse of any type is unacceptable, by either sex, but this should not be a major concern of the press. Why aren’t we talking about other things… like the situation in Sri Lanka.
I guess this situation, to me, is like the steroid coverage but on a larger scale. It’s almost as if our priorities are totally misaligned.
Ok, enough bitching for now.
