"There is always a tendency to underestimate Barack Obama. We are inclined in the news media to hyperventilate over every political or policy setback, no matter how silly or insignificant, while Mr. Obama has shown again and again that he takes a longer view." Hear! Hear!

Not good news.......Geithner needs to figure out where his plan is lacking, get it tightened up and then he has to go out and sell it. LIBOR Uptick Shows Uneasiness With Geithner's Plan By Tony Crescenzi Indications are that LIBOR will increase at tomorrow morning's setting by the British Bankers Association, an indication that money market investors believe details of Treasury Secretary Geithner's financial stabilization plan were lacking. Three-month LIBOR looks likely to increase by at least 5 basis points at tomorrow's setting from Tuesday's setting of 1.222%. If it does, it would put three-month LIBOR at its highest since Jan. 8. The rate would not necessarily be high -- the low for the move was 1.0825% on Jan. 14 and last year's high was 4.82% -- but it would show that the recent intensification of concerns about banks have not been alleviated by either the prospect of massive fiscal stimulus or Geithner's stabilization plan.
