WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama says treasury secretary is one job that's not up for grabs.

In an interview with CBS' "60 Minutes" Obama said that if Treasury chief Timothy Geithner offered his resignation, the answer would be, "Sorry buddy, you've still got the job."

“Obama says treasury secretary’s job is secure”

Was this one of his one line zingers on the Leno show?

Funny how being an incompetent boob did what being a tax cheat couldn’t do.

If Obama replaced the secretary of the treasury, he would have to admit he made a mistake.

It’s not going to happen.

The One does NOT make mistakes.

“In solidarity with the people of America being laid off...I hereby lay myself off.” Sorry, Obummer.

Life is good. We just planted a garden.

When will he and Michelle go on Martha or Rachel Ray to show off their garden?

I do not disagree, but -— something else is playing here as well:

What if Geitner got canned -—

And NOBODY ELSE would take the job?

Think it through, the public is on a mad frenzy, populist, even mindless outrage is palpable out there, and we have a Marxist, an Incompetent Marxist, as President trying to do what is impossible: Spend and borrow our way to prosperity!

So, what SMART economist or MBA or executive ANYWHERE would take this job?

Geitner can't even fill his own staff right now.

So, Obama is worried about the embarrassment of having to hire a 3rd or 4th string light weight, since nobody in the top tier of talent will get NEAR this job!

Of course, everything to destroy the economy and implement total nationalization is on track. Why mess with success?

Maybe he wants him to take the Grassley solution. Or go to lunch at Ft. Marcie Park.

He admitted he screwed up on the nomination of Daschle. Soon it will be “This is not the Geithner I knew”

The only reason Timmie hasn’t been replaced is they can’t get anyone to volunteer. Where’s Jimmy Hoffa when we need him ????????? At least he knew how to run a crooked business !!!!!!

They can’t get anyone else to volunteer to take over the controls of this trainwreck!

Has anyone created a graphic of Zero fiddling while the USA burns? I’d love to grab it!
