BYO popcorn, beer and barf bags.

The 0 is unlikely to ever use the word in public, and it's a near-certainty he will never read the book. His so-called economic advisors have different ideas as to how the fedgov should act to save capitalism.

Those who question the official line that greed and capitalism are at fault need to know what happened, even if we are consigned to another 12 years of economic misery.

It can't be allowed to happen again.

If it sounds good, he’ll say it. “Ahhhhh, look Chester, he’s doing something for the schools. Bush never did that!”

Just sad...

I agree with your premise.

[LA Woman3]

He can’t stay on topic for more than a few seconds. He’s a child. I swear this guy is ten years old.

Brings to mind the movie "Big"!!

[Netizen]

I would take small sips cuz your gonna be shitfaced at this rate

LMAO

[BCrago66]

Helen Thomas always has that look. She needs her Metamucil.

[maggief]

Oh yeah, restore confidence. Bring on Turbo Tax Cheat Tim.

DO you know of anyone who’s written so many autobiographies at his age? lol

Well you will thank her in the morning. :)

[Marathoner]

Hell I am about to miss Carter.....

Well, there went my beverage all over the keyboard.

[mewzilla]

OMG..she cited CHUCK SCHUMER AS ‘An EXPERT’

Note to the rest of the nation: If Upstate had its own state, we wouldn't have Chucky, Hillie, Hot Sheets, et al....

Hint, hint....

[P.O.E.]

He still hasn’t answered her question - this is transparency, all right. I see right through him.

[mylife]

Now he is talking about possibly needing MORE money?

[yongin]

If Sarah Palin answered questions like Obama, the press will incessantly chant how dumb she is.

[AGreatPer]

"The question is what direction does the DOW ramble tomorrow...."

Not good.

My son just told me something.
This a-hole is spending my son's money who isn't even born yet. (His son is due in June)

[penelopesire]

She cited Chuck Schumer as ‘an expert’ in her question..LOL

Sounded like something out of Soviet Pravda!

[hugorand]

Anybody know what the stock futures are doing during this?

[MamaLucci]

Tapper!

[pabianice]

Q: Won't it really cost over a trillion dollars to fix the economy, not an additional $ 350B"

Barry: "We didn't get the bang for the buck from the first TARP money we expected and Tim Geithner is coming-ip with ideas to use this money more transparently to work with the banks in a more effective way to clean-up their balance sheets to make sure we know what is on the bank's books to restore trust and get a better idea about the mortgage loan situation in a way to restore market confidence to get a better idea of how to restore market confidence which can make a big difference to restoring more market capital..."

This is my flag:

[jwalsh07]

Well, I finally found something I could admire.

He doesn't want to preempt the tax cheating Secretary of the Treasury.

Very admirable.
