Problem is our President doesn't have a plan, unless it's a secret one that
he plans to reveal at the just right time.
It's not like this crap economy is a surprise or just started. If he had a sound plan to fix the economy, we would already know everything about it and a reactionary speech to the tattered markets wouldn't reveal any new, ground-breaking information.

A completely different situation where I would agree that an inspirational leader is when there is an acute incident that a quick response is needed for. For instance, the Lehman Brother's and Enron bankruptcies or a terrorist attack.

Dealing with the stock market depends on utilizing data and an intelligent analysis of that data. A single BS expected speech by the President (regardless of who he is) does not provide any qualitative or quantitatively useful information.

Your taking my words out of context. Nothing I said was directly about Obama's speech, specifically.

Ooops, must make note to myself to take more time and not do a drive-by.

Having said that, you are the Queen of Context .

did I miss something?..was there another President with no plan to fix the economy who gave a reactionary (and quite arrogant and uninspiring) speech recently regarding the tattered markets containing all the expected BS that provided no useful information that you may have been or may not have been either specifically or directly referring to?

Sorry JD, but i couldn't resist being that was such a perfect discription
of Obama's speech.

In any event we prolly won't hear from him for the 10 days he's
on vacation on the Vineyard as the world crisis continues.
Prolly gonna work on his "razor sharp" jobs creation program.
