As I being this entry there is a special speaker at UH Manoa getting ready to speak. This would be Richard Parsons, Chairman of the Citigroup Financial conglomerate and advisor to President Obama. Parsons will be making a keynote address "The Global and Financial Crisis: Origins and Solutions." Well isnt that interesting, The head of a financial group giving a talk on how the current financial crisis started and how to fix it. I find it ironic that he would speak on this considering that people of his stature are not highly revered in the eye of public opinion right now. I wonder if there will be any protestors there and what they would be prosesting. This speech seems impeccably timed on the heels of the recent G-20 summit. I hope they publish his speech somewhere so I can read it. I am probably all wrong here but if the guy has the solution to the crisis, and the ear of the president, what is he doing making a speech at UH. Oh well, maybe I shoulld have just went and found out for myself.
