Geithner, at the Council on Foreign Relations, said the U.S. is "open" to a headline-grabbing proposal by the governor of the China's central bank, which was widely reported as being a call for a new global currency to replace the dollar, but which Geithner described as more modest and "evolutionary."
"I haven’t read the governor’s proposal. He’s a very thoughtful, very careful distinguished central banker. I generally find him sensible on every issue," Geithner said, saying that however his interpretation of the proposal was to increase the use of International Monetary Fund's special drawing rights -- shares in the body held by its members -- not creating a new currency in the literal sense.

oh f-ing great. what we need is the UN Fed doing monetary policy! Oh great, since Zimbabwe is in charge of the UN Commission on Substainable Development, would it not make sense to put them in charge of the Global Currency!
another bad idea.
Once again, Geithner proves he is as cxlueless as they come!!
Will we be silent still?
Imagine the fun we could have if we got rid of all our pesky liberties and rights!
After a few gimmees for flub, it’s now apparent it’s being done on purpose. Destroy the dollar, destroy America ...
(I cleaned up what I really wanted to post.)
This comedy act we call a government is not an accident. Its all on purpose and was probably planned decades ago.
why not??
a country that no longer has a currency because they destroyed it being put in charge of a new world money makes perfect sense....
.. to an idiot leftist
I am a slow learner, non-believer in conspiracy, but this has become quite obvious what is happening is intentional.
THIS IS F***ING TREASON!!!
I am afraid you are wrong — It’s being done on purpose. Bring down the dollar, bring down America. A George Soros wet dream for decades.
Obama’s model for America!
Maybe the Chinese heard Barney Frank state that he who bails you out, controls you.
If this happens, we are screwed.
From the Sino-Russian Joint Statement of April 23, 1997:
"The two sides [China and Russia] shall, in the spirit of partnership, strive to promote the multipolarization of the world and the establishment of a new international order."

War Games: Russia, China Grow Alliance
September 23, 2005
In foreign policy it’s critical to “know thine enemy.” So American policymakers should be aware that Russia and China are inching closer to identifying a common enemy — the United States.
The two would-be superpowers held unprecedented joint military exercises Aug. 18-25. Soothingly named “Peace Mission 2005,” the drills took place on the Shandong peninsula on the Yellow Sea, and included nearly 10,000 troops. Russian long-range bombers, the army, navy, air force, marine, airborne and logistics units from both countries were also involved.
Moscow and Beijing claim the maneuvers were aimed at combating terrorism, extremism and separatism (the last a veiled reference to Taiwan), but it’s clear they were an attempt to counter-balance American military might.
Joint war games are a logical outcome of the Sino-Russian Friendship and Cooperation Treaty signed in 2001, and reflect the shared worldview and growing economic ties between the two Eastern Hemisphere giants. As the Pravda.ru Web site announced, “the reconciliation between China and Russia has been driven in part by mutual unease at U.S. power and a fear of Islamic extremism in Central Asia.”

Russia, China flex muscles in joint war games
Reuters: Aug 17, 2007
CHEBARKUL, Russia (Reuters) - Russia and China staged their biggest joint exercises on Friday but denied this show of military prowess could lead to the formation of a counterweight to NATO.
"Today's exercises are another step towards strengthening the relations between our countries, a step towards strengthening international peace and security, and first and foremost, the security of our peoples," Putin said.
Fighter jets swooped overhead, commandos jumped from helicopters on to rooftops and the boom of artillery shells shook the firing range in Russia's Ural mountains as two of the largest armies in the world were put through their paces.
The exercises take place against a backdrop of mounting rivalry between the West, and Russia and China for influence over Central Asia, a strategic region that has huge oil, gas and mineral resources.
Russia's growing assertiveness is also causing jitters in the West. Putin announced at the firing range that Russia was resuming Soviet-era sorties by its strategic bomber aircraft near NATO airspace.

"Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has been visiting countries such as China, Iran and Russia as part of an effort to build a 'strategic alliance' of interests not beholden to the United States. He considers the United States his arch enemy.":

The fact that Obama and his team are soooooo wrong about everything makes me believe that it has to be on purpose. He's getting the results he wants. He's not "wrong" -- he's evil.
I think I’m going to be sick. It’s like waking up on another planet and not being able to get your bearings.
