NYT Quote of the Day

"It took us a couple of days because I like to know what I’m talking about before I speak."
President Obama, defending his decision to wait a few days before expressing anger over bonuses paid to executives of the insurance giant A.I.G.

Because anger and indignation takes time to work up. (sure it does)

Because the people who were getting those bonuses weren't the same people who got AIG in all that trouble and are working their asses off to fix the problem.

Because we want to strip anyone who works hard trying to correct the HUGE mistakes of not only their money, but their dignity as well.

I heard on CNN International tonight some lady in Penn Station saying that Obama has only been in office for a short while and people haven't given him enough time. But he knew what he was getting into (supposedly). Why shouldn't we call him on his mistakes? And when we do, why the hell isn't it getting publicity? Or is that obvious....
