What I heard today on “Meet The Press”

There were three segments to the program. The first two segments featured Sec. Paulson and Mayor Bloomberg and the third segment was a panel discussion.

Sec. Of Treasury Paulson
Mr. Paulson does not have the smarts. I get the impression he is a good “C” student trying to circulate in a class of the Gifted and Talented. He is out of his league. There was too much metaphorical sobbing and nose blowing into his handkerchief. He said, “It pains me, pains me, to put (see?) the American public in this situation.” Listening to Mr. Paulson gave me a panic seizure to hear Federal Reserve Chairmen Ben Bernanke as the next guest to compair.

Mayor of New York City Michael Bloomberg
My first impression was “Methodical”. Mr. Bloomberg could do a good job in helping the bailout discussions if he had the information and, most importantly, the time. “I already have a job,” he said. “There are a lot of smart people out there.” I got the impression New York City is his foremost priority. Back to references to the bailout situation, “We need more visibility”. “We have regulations and they have to be followed.” A company “can not be too big to fail but to important”. In reference to Mr. Bloomberg, the words “confidence inspiring” comes to mind. I now understand why his name constantly comes up in the upper echelon of our political chambers (Discussions).
As always,

P.S. I’m laying off listening to pundits today. However, Chris Matthews did have a good show this morning. A nice panel.
