The WH big mistake is not just appointing Summers Fed Chairman but letting

[CK_John]

the announcement linger.

Now if he switches he will look more than wimpy by both the Left and RW.

This mistake is not the first time, navel gazing is wonderful but once the leak goes public a decision needs to be made. Getting the right person is less important than how the process plays out.

Just do it. No decision is worst than a bad decision.

Larry Summers

I think a bad decision could be worse.

5. What's the quid pro quo? Have the details been worked out? Maybe they are still in the works.

6. when the time comes, not Summers

but Janet Yellen.

Summers may be the smartest guy in the room, but he alienates a lot of people. The Fed is about consensus building. Yellen has experience the equal of Summers', but he doesn't have her ability to work well with others.

She's a much better choice.
