. >> what's your view on the flexibility that the president has to change who is at the helm of the fed? >> it's the president's prerogative to appoint whoever he wants. while dick and i gray on several issues in the past, this is one that i agree with him on. the only thing i would note specifically is i just find it somewhat ironic that larry summers particularly is cited as being, quotes/unquote a political appointment, by many people, not just dick. so i agree as a thesis that there are some issues, i think there's a bit of a double standard going on here. >> that's interesting. i would think whoever was in any administration if they were in the party, if they picked them, they would be political. >> i agree. >>> final word, dick bove, what do you read into today's and yesterday's rally? and in particular the masters trust data. i don't want to use too strong a word, but a slight improvement in credit card delinquencies?s? >> i think we're seeing hope on the part of the market when we're getting nonperforming figures out of the banks over the next few days, they'll show a slowing in
