7. Wagoner: "We can be a model....for China, India, Brazil"

Richard Wagoner, GM CEO.
He's talking about transforming and stimulation our industries and economy to a low carbon model.

Those countries have copied our bad habits, largely. It's time to turn it around and lead in a different way.

"No president has said this is our goal." (until now), comment by another panel member.

This is a 180 from our past, people. This is major great news!

8. GENERAL JAMES JONES IS THE V.P. CHOICE

General jim jones is at the summit and he tried to give his creds ob energy but obama, said, the genral is being modest, he is a 4 star general and the supreme allied commander


obama tried to bolster his mil cred,

obama didn't have to do that at an energy summit

this tells me the general is the choice

15. It amazes me how people are surprised that McCain trails by such a large

number in economy. He has not even had one of these types of sessions I don't think. This may be Obama's 3rd or so.
