Lloyd Blankfein, the CEO and Chairman of Goldman Sachs, is a Power Hitter! - Just another day in the mortgage mess

Mr. Lloyd Blankfein spoke today, in front of the Council of Institutional Investors, and he nailed it! His compassion for the taxpayers was incredible. Read his speech and I hope it will give many, the clarity to unanswered questions that many of us have been asking ourselves over the past twenty-four months.

With this said, I want to end this blog entry with what Mr. Blankfein stated towards the end of his speech that made me feel good. He stated, "I want to conclude with the following thought: we are fighting for nothing less than the immediate health and security of every person. We can never forget the products of economic growth - more accessible health care, better education, less crime, tolerance of diversity, social mobility and a commitment to democracy."

"In so many respects, change is in the order of the day."
Mr. Blankfein is a true inspiration for all of us. Thank you!

Stay tuned...I have more to share. Just another day in the mortgage mess!
