Don't talk through your rear, Jonathan

Today I met with Glenn to discuss how things have gone up to this point in my internship. It was a great discussion, up until the point when he asked me what I thought of healthcare reform. I pulled some answer out of my butt that was fluff, I knew it and he knew it. It didn't have any substance, and he saw right though it. He didn't say anything about it, just mentioning that I need to be clear and concise about numbers and information. People assume that you know things, especially in health reform. Since you're in the industry, people will turn to you and want to know what you think about the recent health reform proposals. It is our responsibility to be informed and clear with information that is presented to them. In the future, though, if I don't know or can't think of a way to answer the question at that time, I need to respect the other person enough to say that although I don't know, I can find out.
