They moved quicker and sooner, but inline with their statements and market expectations - so I don't see it as "drastic". Hell, if George didn't open his untrustworthy yap last week the Fed may have been able to wait until their meeting next week.

Well supposedly they are going to cut it another 50 basis points next week anyways.
