Obama's Team is Still a Work in Progress

First, Obama mishandles (I believe) the Stimulus package by 1) offering up too many concession to the thankless GOP off the bat; and 2) by allowing the House to have initial, and most of, the control over the details. At least we all know Obama is great at learning and adapting and we can expect he'll do better in the future.

Now, the Washington Post reports that Tim Geithner changed his mind at the last minute on how to structure the Bank Bailout Plan which lead to rolling out a vague proposal that landed with a thud. I understand his reasons - but again, maybe in the future he'll take the time to work a plan out before he unveils it ... that way he can define it before the stock market does.

UPDATE: Tom Toles has my comedic back
