More From SIG TARP Barofsky: Bloomberg Interview (July 21 Video)
Many have rightfully complained (see SD's detailed transcript of the exchange in comments) about the tone that CNBC anchors Becky Quick, Carl Quintanilla and reporter Steve Liesman adopted in their interview of TARP Inspector General Neil Barofsky yesterday morning, prior to his testimony before the House Government Oversight Committee yesterday.
We present a Bloomberg discussion with Barofsky also aired yesterday as evidence that not all financial news is as warped as CNBC. Barofsky is proving to be an outstanding steward of the taxpayer's interest and this discussion should not be missed. Try to make time to watch the whole thing.

Thanks for providing the new Bloomberg clip for contrast. Maybe there is hope for humanity after all.
“By the end of his term the public had become to suspect that Bill Clinton dealt with anxiety and sense of failure with compulsive seduction – by grabbing for a woman, practically any women. Obama may have a different drug. He’s beginning to look like a compulsive talker, like a man who is only comfortable doing one thing: facing audiences, with the smell of the greasepaint and the roar of the crowd drowning out the din of unpleasant thoughts in his head.”
“I have a about why Obama talks so much: I’ve long noticed a relationship between smoking and talking. Both are oral addictions. Smoking takes the place of talking and vice versa. Take a smoker’s cigarette away, he’ll need to talk. Force him to stop talking, he’ll grab for a smoke.”
“So maybe some chewing gum Nicorette? But focus, Mr President, focus.”
