Did you watch or hear Geitner's speech? I thought Obama was giving it - "only government can solve this problem", "we can't rely on the same failed policies of the past", etc.
I can't imagine those were his words since he was NY Fed Prez and the NY Fed controls monetary policy for all Fed banks and he did have something to do with regulating Wall Street.
I didn't see any strings hanging off Geitner, but I did see a shadow beside him that looked like Obama...
Indeed, Obama and Geithner have matching stories. TARP was a great gift from Bush to Obama, and the latter is definitely going to remind us every chance he gets. And all the Republican pork. No one seems to be calling BO on his justification for more pork: "The republicans did it, so we get to pork away too."
