Rick Santelli said earlier that the market dropped 2% because it didn't like Ben Bernanke's delivery during today's speech. Not what he said, per se, but how he said it. Personally, we're big fans of the Beard, but we understand that some people need a little more enthusiasm so, for next time:

I'm loathe to say it but if its delivery and 'salesability' they want, look no furthter:

Barack Obama.
He'd describe overnight lending and commercial paper with such beauty and eloquence that the market would surge and credit markets would open immediately.

On a completely unrelated note, how can Art Cashin get up every morning and talk about "testing the lows" each and every day?!
It must be the only thing he knows about trading in 42 years. Every single day he's talking about getting a good downward push early and beat out the market low for the crisis. Seriously, why is he even on Squawk Box? Get a tape recorder and run the same track every morning.
Memo to Art: I don't care how old you are - This crisis is unlike anything you've ever seen. History is a poor model for forecasting this situation. You've called for the market to "test the low" every day since August of 2007.

[JC]: (high) "haha, money supply!"

@39 @40: Yeah, I think when she left Countrywide in 11/15/06 it might have been a major red flag sell signal to the housing industry. You know the Beard and Bald are fans.

@53. She really did. She gave up "acting" in 2003/2004. Wiki. It should've been a red flag to us all when she left "acting" for "ownership society."
