Thread Name: BS: Obama's First Televised Press Conference
Subject: RE: BS: Obama's First Televised Press Conference
I think Bush was a poor orator and Obama is a much better orator.
However I think what was said is more important than how it was delivered.
Obama: "I don't want to preempt my Secretary of the Treasury; he's going to be laying out these principles in great detail tomorrow"
Next Day
Geithner: "And we are not going to put out details"
Results Dow Jones down 400 points.
What refreshing difference from what politicians usually do.
