Useless quote of the day (I've stopped quoting Tom Friedman because it is difficult to take him seriously. He reminds me of Robin Williams, he is a great entertainer, but he keeps moving and it is hard to know when to listen to him or rather to read him because he works so hard at the gritty stuff and never stops):
As for President Obama, I like his coolness under fire, yet sometimes it feels as if he is deliberately keeping his distance from the banking crisis, while pressing ahead on other popular initiatives. I understand that he doesn’t want his presidency to be held hostage to the ups and downs of bank stocks, but a hostage he is. We all are.
Great and difficult crises are what produce great presidents, so one thing we know for sure: Mr. Obama’s going to have his shot at greatness.
