COMMANDER IN CHIEF
I am very impressed with Obama's posture as the Chief Executive.
I watched a good bit of his economics team introduction today.
He is terse. Direct. No passive sentences. "I want", "I will" and so on. No third person statements.
The market was up 2-300 points when he started. It is now in the 500 area.
I take that as a positive vote from Wall Street.
As a walker on Main Street, I applaud as well.
He took it to the auto manufacturers too. "I was disappointed".
Good work. The man is in charge before he is in charge!
It is also impressive politics.
There will be another budget conference tomorrow where he will introduce his OMB guy. He mentioned 'tomorrow' three times.
We will all be there.
