What I'm reading today...

1. Eugene Robinson writes that slashing salaries and perks at seven of the bailed-out companies is, while satisfying, not addressing the real problem.
2. While the White House is quick to remind us of the gravity of problems they inherited, Peggy Noonan writes it’s time for Obama to own his presidency.
3. David Rhode’s account of his seven-month kidnapping by the Taliban has made for some compelling reading on the front-page of the New York Times.  But his story is more than just an exciting read – it provides insight into the nature of the Taliban and the war in Afghanistan.
4. An interview with Andrew Ross Sorkin about his new book, “Too Big to Fail.”  Sorkin will join me Sunday.
5. Charles Krauthammer writes that the Obama administration’s war with Fox News is contrary to his post-partisan promises.
