We got an hour with each of Obama, Geitner, Bernanke and Summers (n.b. they all came to the Park Hyatt). Excuse Obama cause he could only read from teleprompters with no Q&A. The other three all said basically the same thing: 1. Budget deficit is running 5-7% of GDP that is unsustainable; 2. Need to get it down to 2-3% in order to be sustainable; 3. Only way to get there will have to include cutting entitlements; 4. We don't have the political will to cut entitlements. Ahh yes, I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You around for a call this weekend ? tjp EFTA00733802
