I beg to differ! He has a degree in Asian studies, and so far, the Chinese and Japanese are doing just fine…

Geithner destroyed the Indonesian economy back in the 90's. Yep, Indonesia. Seems the Geithner-Obama connection goes way back ...

[...] Jonathan Stewart picks a soft target like Jim Cramer as the best person for ridicule. Consider Timothy Geithner having no treasury staff yet trying to tackle the financial mess, or Obama and his administration [...]

Good! Now, Duh One needs to appoint a middle-class mother to run the treasury dept. Such a woman knows how to budget, how to make $100 stretch to cover $120 worth of expenses, how to prioritize expenses, how to take money from one pot and apply it other expenses, and STILL find a little extra when necessary.

Ya know? Everything the current idiot doesn’t know!

You forgot two more valuable attributes…a sharp tongue to put these maroons in their places, and the courage to wash their mouths out with soap occasionally.

You know what they say:

“You can tell a great deal about a person and their character by the company…or lack of…they keep.”

Let me see…best friends are an unrepentant murderous terrorist, a racist amti-American race-baiting Truther, another racist, self-loathing, anti-American “preacher”, is loved by Socialist dictators, supported and endorsed by home-grown racist, anti-Semitic quasi-Muslims, further endorsed by all Islamic terrorist groups such as Hamas, Al Qaeda, Iran…

Cannot seem to find anyone who is honest without some sort of criminal indictment or investigation…

Yet we are told he is as honest and pure as fresh powder on the West slopes of the Sierra Nevadas.

Say…anyone interested in purchasing this great parcel of beach-front property? It is right in the middle of Death Valley…comes complete with it’s own bridge…

Taped to the underside of one of his desk drawers they found a handdrawn Laffer Curve…

Geithner will soon be ‘asked’ to resign, probably for ‘Medical’ reasons, possibly a sudden diagnosis, ‘Mind Cancer’ or such.
Is the the mind part of the brain, Edward?

lgm, nice try.

Cohen dropped out after the White House found an issue during his vetting process, two sources familiar with the matter said. The sources declined to identify the reason.

You mean they’re actually vetting now?
Who’da thunk!

The reasons:
Tax cheat? Nope, not a problem
Caught with underage sheep? Nope, that’ll get you on the House Ways and Means committee.
Must’ve been really really bad.

People are starting to urge Obama to loosen his ethics rules and allow lobbyists and others with conflicts of interest like Bush did. It’s easy to find someone to guard the hen house if you allow foxes to apply, like Bush did.

It turns out to be hard to clean up Washington. And it doesn’t happen over night.

“President Obama and his new government have adopted a series of measures to deal with the financial crisis. We have expectations as to the effects of these measures,” Mr. Wen said. “We have lent a huge amount of money to the U.S. Of course we are concerned about the safety of our assets. To be honest, I am definitely a little worried.”

See, Geithner’s Asian Studies degree is paying off…oh wait, no, the Chinese are worried – maybe they’ll want gold instead of dollars. Or maybe we can sell them San Francisco.

I’ve said it before, here it is again: The fact that no one seems to want to be part of this elegant man’s regime indicates that even amongst his fellow travelers there is no confidence in success being the likely outcome. They’re rats refusing to board a sinking ship.

We could fix 2/3 of the banking mess by just allowing banks to reposes the assets which they own.
