      I think he somewhat side-stepped the question of the influence of former Clinton admin ppl and allied Congressional supporters and also just how it was that Hillary got her position. It seems undeniable to me that Obama has abandoned a lot of the reform positions he took in the campaign, which I do not view as requiring either a lot of money or cajoling. I thot the info about Bill's ability to find analogies or transfer interesting and might very well account for his "indecisiveness." It means that you need more experience or want to see tests of hypotheses before acting, not at all a bad thing, I think, and we could use more of it in the population. There's far too much stuff designed without either experience or testing. In fact there's far too much stuff designed, period, and it would be nice if ppl took themselves to the library instead. It may that like Greenspan, he didn't really understand the problem with easy money, and yet wanted to move to a more libertarian position, yet I didn't get that idea at the time, from either of them.

      @ AniseDc:

      what are you talking Charlie Rose doesn't hate Clinton..... actually i don't know he keeps he's political ideology TO HIM SELF. what you just witness was called good journalism, digging deep into the subject matter and vetting the author to see if he knows what he's talking about. this isn't a biased network like FOX news or MSNBC where the host takes it easy on the guest because of the aligning view if you like that sort of stuff i suggest you go there.

      After seeing this interview, I'm going to google Charlie Rose and Pres. Bill Clinton to finally find out why Charlie was digging so hard to find out anything negative about Clinton during this and many other interviews. I am still not sure if Mr. Rose loves Pres. Obama more than he hates Clinton. What's up?
