And while Citi Holdings, in which Citi has stuck its mortgage loans, is still in bad shape, Citi officials say Citicorp, which the bank calls its "core" investment bank and its retail bank divisions, is on the mend. Later this week, Citi plans to complete the first stage of a deal to swap a large chunk of its preferred shares for common stock, which will greatly improve the financial standing of the bank - though it will also more than quadruple the company's shares...

It is true, as he points out, that much legislative progress - almost exclusively managed by his own party - already has been made. And he is correct that the current health-care system is both fiscally and morally unsustainable. But his high-profile prime-time performance, with insufficient specificity, scant new data and too many unanswered questions, likely did little to help his cause...
