White House Seeks Economic Advice From Twitter

Howard RoarkOld Faithful

"Twitter cofounder and CEO Ev Williams is headed to the White House today.

The administration invited him to join a “young business leaders" summit to discuss the economic crises.

As Ev himself puts it -- in a Twitter message, of course -- "[this] must mean they're *really* out of ideas."

A reminder: With 6 million members and 700% plus growth, Twitter makes no money in the US. (It sells some ads in Japan)"

The Obamites running on empty. Please, someone, tell them that their plans such as healthcare stacked one upon another are scaring the bloody hell out of the market.

so you would have them wait until the market hits bottom before they do anything?

just because the "DOW" hasn't hit bottom yet doesn't mean the things they are doing are lowering the market value of companies.

No, they should do what is necessary to alleviate the economic crisis, not load on social change agenda items. The market hates uncertainly and money flees. As, its doing right now!

Cap in Trade, much higher taxes on Corporations, punishing anyone not in with the phony green idea. There many more but that's enough right there.

Next time Obama is on and the market is open watch the 2 at the same time. Obama, speaks DOW drops 10, opens mouth, DOW drops 10 more. Geithner speaks up DOW drops 100, it's almost comical if you are into pain.
