If Summers is appointed there will be some who will say it was GENIUS and BRAZILLION-DIMENSIONAL CHESS.
But Summers is already Summers, and the economy is already the economy, so it is hardly too soon to have an opinion.
If Summers WILL BE a great pick in the event that he gets picked, would anyone care to say before the fact thast he SHOULD BE picked?

Good guy that Summers. Hell, why not let Jeffrey Skilling run the thing instead?

Unlike you I'm not afraid of dissent. It wouldn't be the first time Clinton and Obama were wrong.

(30,439 posts)It seems the media claims it's between those two. However, I would rather neither are appointed and someone like Paul Krugman is.
But if I had to pick between Summers or Yellen, I'd pick Summers.
