Jeff, I still don't offer any excuses for his performance, other than to say that the man CLEARLY is not comfortable in front of a camera, and had better figure out who is within management right quickly, if they hope to get more opportunities. Maybe he doesn't. ggg. I have written speeches for Members of Congress and testimony for assorted officials testifying before Congress, and it isn't at all unusual for people to freeze or clam up before or during the big performance. I don't know how many times I have wanted to grab the microphone and finish sentences, thoughts, etc., or grab an opportunity while it was at hand to make the case and score points, etc. But damn, if the guy isn't cut out for the media bit, find someone who is! Even Moses had Aaron! gggg. Ken

Jeff and Ken, re TAVA interview. CNBC can be tough. They are good at weeding out when there is a hole in the story, and they can be somewhat brutal. Unfortunately, you have to prepared, otherwise you look like a fool. Agree with Ken and CalcRisk, go on with an agenda and stick to it no matter what you are asked. Been there in front of a camera many times - it can be quite intimidating. Jeff, ever done it with a satellite link? You don't know who the hell you are talking to, nor what the body language is. They know yours, though. Also, it's damned tough to look at an impersonal camera when there is a television monitor of yourself right next to it, and other people around. Who wants to look at an inanimate object?? Z
