Lloyd Blankfein interview with Charlie Rose on For the Record right now.
hes doing a decent job, but it strikes me as pretty amazing that this dude is in charge. between the congressional hearings and this interview he seems a bit bumbling, but clearly being polished is just one aspect of getting ahead at goldman.

I don't know, I think Lloyd needs to take a little more time to focus his thoughts before speaking; certainly not as polished as former CEO's of GS
..
Yeah Birnbaum was very slick.
Birnbaum should be CEO.

Do you guys really think that he's done poorly the past couple of days? Obviously, he isn't as dreamy as Dimon, but I think he has done a reasonable job of sidestepping and redirecting the discussions. The "prop trading is only 10% of GS's revenue" line was a Friday night classic.
Is the Birnbaum show online somewhere? I'd love to hear it.
I think that Sparks came off the most polished during the hearings; Lloyd kept fumbling his thoughts
hes on Fareed Zakaria GPS (CNN) right now...youd think hed had enough practice by now
Fareed: "Do you understand the human component to this crisis?"
Lloyd: "Of course I do, I grew up in Brooklyn, my dad was a postal worker...."
Fareed: "You made $68 Million in 2007 at the height of the crisis"
Lloyd: Blank stares
