I am getting a little concerned with the Giethner

[TheCoxwain]

I have been for Obama all the way thus far - but am having a creeping suspicion about how business is being conducted in the Obama administration ...

I expect Obama to be' hands-on on all important matters - not because I think he is an expert on policy matters - but I do expect him to be an expert on the process.

I expect Obama to solicit opinion that is as diverse as it is deep in its content backed by reasoned arguments and not by ideology alone. The hope is the best idea will bubble up to front based on its merit rather than being helped along by the force of authority. That is the kind of change I was hoping to see.

I somehow feel that this is not how things are being done vis-a-vis the stimulus and Tarp policy bills. I believe Giethner is getting too much of a free hand and I am not liking what I see ..


what do you all think?
