I suppose you're right, Cutten. Just a little surprised that he would choose to spotlight the war debate at this point. Don't see much upside in doing that.
he thinks or someone told him. this is a guy you would not let run your company and he is running the country.
Saxon, I think you got it completely bass ackwards. He is more vulnerable on Iraq than the economy. The economy IS improving. Every measure is up (albeit job growth is still lagging)... Historic low int rates Record housing #'s Low inflation Record productivity growth Increasing corp profits Low (relativley) taxes Its clear the economy is on the mend and should be doing very well by summer. Iraq is a completley different animal. No body really knows how it will turn out.
He said the economy is strong and getting stronger. What more do you want him to say? Maybe he should have been more specific and said to buy tomorrows dip.
