Posted 112 minutes ago
Wall Street likes it? It's an interesting pick and sets Larry Summers up to replace Ben Bernanke, who will most certainly NOT re-up to the Chair of the Federal Reserve Board. Geithner is a Johns Hopkins grad. Summers, of course, is past president of Harvard and took his PhD there. This may be the breaking of the Chicago stranglehold on ... [Link]

OBAMA FANS ARE TRYING TO LOWER EXPECTATIONS: President-elect Barack Obama’s supporters have dropped much of the “messiah” talk.

Instead we have more humble and circumspect conversation about the man. ... [Link]
