I can hardly believe what I'm watching on MSNBC right now. Chris Matthews is almost critical — no, not even almost, he's flat-out critical of President Obama on the economic front. He mentions an earlier conversation with CNBC's manic stock analyst Jim Cramer and a University of Maryland professor (Peter Morici?) knocking Obama for several economic decisions — that the stimulus bill needed more real infrastructure and less pork, that the housing bill isn't inspiring confidence and doesn't look like it will work, and that no one has faith in Tim Geithner's solution for the banks.
Howard Fineman of Newsweek says Obama has been "grim and a little distant at the same time . . . Tim Geithner hasn't inspired any confidence anywhere, as far as I can tell."
Matthews: "He seems like Barney Fife to me."
Eugene Robinson: "I actually referred to him as Doogie Howser, Treasury Secretary, and I think it's a little unfair." Much laughter ensues.

today’s video of analysts pointing out Obama is causing the market prices to fall and decorats have to room to blame.
this is not santelli and the CNBC censor must have blinked.
If the media ever turns on BHO, he will go down faster than the Titanic.
Predictions for today’s close?
I’ll play..

LOL! Good one.
Obama is causing the market prices to fall and decorats have to room to blame.
Say what? In English please.
Sideways day. Waiting for the one to spew tonight.
You summed up perfectly how I feel.
She got the mortgage part right!
LOL! That comment made my morning...
I would have to see his mother first!
The CNBC crew are doing a good job of proclaiming "The emperor has no clothes plan".
I had several episodes on last night while I worked. Wesley actually saved the day on several occasions.
To Doogie Howser...

The Hang Sen at -376.58?
The Nikkei at -107.60?
But I keep hearing on the radio that Dow futures are up this AM. Right? Bernanke is going to testify to that “fact,” today, right? There is much rejoicing in the streets this morning in response to the 0ne’s speech as yet to be delivered tonight, right? All is well, right? We have been saved, right? (/s)
There is talk of a “bounce” today after yesterday's fall. Bounce? If what a grapefruit does when it is dropped onto concrete is a bounce, then yes. Close below 7k? Yes.
Well Wall Street and academia (also whining about their “endowments”) elected this man!
Obama sent Timmy G. back to teleprompter reading 101!
Geithner is a result of nepotism. His father, Peter and ‘bami’s Mami worked together for the Ford Foundation.
I was home yesterday and caught Chris’s show. It was unbelievable to hear him so critical of Obama.
