I forgot to mention that I saw you with the President on CNBC getting introduced as CEA chair. You would be pleased to know that the commentators lavished praise on you in terms of the likelihood that you will soon be moving up as Fed chair, especially noting how much "Wall Street" likes you. I was actually surprised at how you seem to be the choice of the CNBC team to succeed Greenspan.
