I wanted to check it out because they were supposed to be interviewing the Finance Sec'y and getting his prediction on when this economy will turn around.....I have heard late May to June/July, but I happen to think that's being very optimistic (extremely optimistic) as I don't see anything really happening until early 2010.....
Anyway, if anyone got to see the episode last night I'd like to know what the guy said about when the economy will turn around.....

<span style="color:#800080">Scott Pelley did the interview. Bernenke said "recession ending this year" - recovery beginning in 2010.
Interesting, but Pelley didn't ask any hard questions. Seemed like an effort to "calm the markets", mostly.

"This astronomy stuff is ridiculous!" said the old lady. "Eveyone knows that a turtle holds up the universe."
"And just what holds up the turtle?" asked the scientist.
"Very clever, but you can't fool me" she replied. "It's Turtles all the way down!"

Ever ask yourself why they spend millions and millions trying to get a job that pays under 500k?<span style="color:#800080">

total softball piece...apparently this was his first sitdown interview...so CBS probably had to agree to be hands off in order to get the opportunity
No. The deal is 60 Minutes is shifting from pessimism to a sort of optimism now that they elected the Great Leader (Obama). When Bush was in office they could be guaranteed to have at least one negative story on the economy, the war, global warming, or something they could tie to the President.
They have their demigod, it is wrong to go too dower.
