| I wonder why Obama is leaving Treasury Sec for later. |
|
I would have thought it was his most urgent pick.
After all the awful days in the market lately I really think the market needs this.
JMO.

| 2. Perhaps they are franticly searching for qualified folks. |
|
Warren Buffet would never take it because he would have to divest his holdings.
His massive holdings in BH.

Obama might get grief over Summers comments about women.
I love Krugman but he would give Wall Street a heart attack.
I kind of wish I heard more names being floated.

| 12. What about Robert Reich? |
|
Yeah he's another Clinton alumnus. But at least he's not a Wall Street corporatist tool. He "gets it" when it comes to what predatory capitalism has done to this country.

Only the Repukes didn't realize the joke was on them. It's actually entered my mind that McCain decided he really didn't want this and sabotaged himself with that ridiculous idea.
