Whoa! Folks are a little tense about the current state of the economy. As households "tighten up" the ol' belt and employees in the office let off steam, seems no matter where you are, when the subject of politics creeps into conversations, the heat turns up. But take a moment and pause. Then take a deep breath and flash back in time with me. Remember when NoDrama Obama got his name? It was during the height of the campaign. The candidates were set to debate when John McCain dramatically "suspended" his campaign to rush to Washington in order to help solve the economic meltdown. Remember that? Meanwhile Obama waited patiently for John to get some smelling salts and return to the debate. A president, after all, ought to be able to juggle two things at once. Now, fast forward to today (or rather, yesterday and today) as Treasury Secretary Geithner was roundly criticized for being light on Recovery Package details. In protest, the stock market took a points dip and even the liberal media howled. Yes, the stakes have increased the drama, but still Obama, through Geithner sitting tight at the table, holds his cards close to his chest. No need to show your cards until they're all in and properly arranged in your hand. So place your bets and wait and see. And I'll tell you this, my money's riding on a properly structured housing recovery plan revealed when it's ready. Oh, and by the way, it's three weeks into the new administration... not EIGHT YEARS! When the details are right for the housing recovery plan, they'll be announced. Trust me. In the words of Tina Turner, "I think it's gonna work out fine!"
