below is a good example... (the last sentence is a hoot)...
- Obama's Call to Endeavour Astronauts Gets Awkward
(Feb. 18) -- Astronauts flying in space are used to VIP phone calls that don't always go as scripted, but Wednesday's conversation was probably one of the most awkward.
President Barack Obama used his chat with the crews of the space shuttle Endeavour and the International Space Station to declare that he sees space exploration as "so important."
"My commitment to NASA is unwavering," Obama said. He emphasized "how proud we are of you ... and how committed we are to continuing human space exploration in the future."
A few weeks ago, the White House unveiled a plan to cancel NASA's new spaceship, its two new rockets and the NASA program, now five years in the making, to return astronauts to the moon. Though Obama also wants to add an extra $6 billion to NASA's budget over the next five years, his proposal has thrown much of the space agency into turmoil.
None of the 11 astronauts was rash enough to bring up the outrage felt by many of their colleagues, but they were more candid during media interviews they gave earlier in their mission.
"It's a tough time, and there's a lot of uncertainty out there," Endeavour pilot Terry Virts told CBS News last Saturday. "It's just really important right now to focus on flying the shuttle safely."
"This is a phase that we must just go through," said Virts' crew mate Kay Hire. "It would've been nice to have it a little smoother."
Endeavour's crew has spent the last week bolting two large new rooms onto the station. They are the last major pieces to be furnished by NASA, and their addition leaves the station 98% complete.
Obama also wants to give the station more time among the stars by extending its lifetime from 2015 until 2020 or longer. But his space plan, if approved by Congress, would leave NASA without a way to take astronauts to space after the shuttle retires this year or next.

Headline:
Soros Betting Hard Against Fiat Currencies And Pouring Into 'The Ultimate Bubble'
Vincent Fernando | Feb. 17, 2010, 6:14 AM |
George Soros's Soros Fund Management charged into gold during the fourth quarter, doubling its stake in the world's largest gold ETF.
Note that he did this despite the fact that gold prices had already run up substantially by 4Q.
It's also despite the fact that in Davos he recently said that gold was the 'ultimate asset bubble' and that there was 'no alternative to the dollar'.
These are the actions of a true trend trader, it seems:
Bloomberg has the details
The $25 billion New York-based firm became the fourth- largest holder in the SPDR Gold Trust, adding 3.728 million shares valued at $421 million, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission yesterday. Its investment was worth about $663 million, the fund’s largest single investment, as of Dec. 31.

That's why I don't listen to any of his speeches. They don't mean anything.

I don't listen to his speeches because he's an empty shirt... no... I am mistaken. He has no clothes.
I am puzzled as to why he is proclaimed to be a great speaker. He leaves me cold. His prose lack history, are devoid of philosophical foundation, and pivot about the prominent "I". Are you impressed? Next time, as soon as his presentation is over, ask yourself, “What did he just say?”
And then, compare his words to his actions.
