A couple of BP-related thoughts

Just a couple of random BP-related thoughts this morning:

President Obama isn’t getting much love for his speech from the Oval Office on Tuesday, with pundits from both the left and the right saying the speech fell flat. To be honest, this is a speech the President should have much sooner, so color me [...]

The money quote

President Barack Obama, speaking on criticisms that financial reform will hurt the financial sector:

And I read a report recently that I think fairly illustrates this point. It’s from Time Magazine. I’m going to quote: “Through the great banking houses of Manhattan last week ran wild-eyed alarm. Big bankers stared at one another in [...]
