What amazed me most is " "The larger problem is we've got to get back to an attitude where people know enough is enough, and people have a sense of responsibility and they understand that their actions are going to have an impact on everybody," he said. "If we can get back to those values that built America, then I think we're going to be OK."

Obama also said he was confident in his embattled Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.

"I think Geithner is doing an outstanding job. I think that we have a big mess on our hands," he said. "It's not going to be solved immediately, but it is going to get solved."

Umm....slight problem. His actions don't accomplish what he is saying. Those are nothing but empty words which he really does not believe. If he truely believed that, he would not be for larger government which wants to control people from cradle to grave and make them dependent on the government.

If there really is a secret NWO agenda to enslave us all in the near future, then he's the perfect "frontman" isn't he? He's smart and funny, and seems very genuine... I for one find it really hard to dislike the guy.

Do you know what happens at the end of a joke right? You get the punchline!

I really don't want to hear the punchline for the end of this financial joke.

WOW, I find it very hard to like him.

I must be immune.

I'm at work so I cant watch it but what I pieced together from stories I've read he was comparing his handling/criminal involvement of all this bailout/theft garbage to a bunch of handicapped kids running around in the special olympics?

Sounds about right.
