WASHINGTON (AP) - Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner (GYT'-nur) says the economy is growing faster than the Obama administration expected.

He tells NBC's "Meet the Press" that the country is on the way to sustained job creation. But he acknowledges that unemployment may remain high, close to 10 percent.

Geithner says there's more confidence in the business world, and he says the private sector is growing. He also says people are spending more.

He said he sees encouraging signs that should make Americans confident the country will emerge stronger.

Geithner must have extremely LOW expectations.

Well that’s good! When I become homeless and lose my children to the state due to unemployment remaining high, I can take comfort in knowing that the economy is growing!

So, that tells me that the ONLY sector where the economy is "growing" is government. After all, they have all those bureaucracies to fill and, of course, more IRS thugs to hire for those of us they will have to persecute for not buying zero's mandated "DeathCare".

Elections have consequences, and 08's election of the ineligible communist usurper will reverberate through our history for DECADES!!! No matter what everyone says, we can't undo what zero and the Congress have done overnight. It will take a LONG time!!

How can the private sector be growing if unemployment is remaining high? Nothing has been done to stimulate growth. Sounds like they just want a bunch of BS in the public record so they can look back into the past and say “see Obamanomics worked” without regard to reality or the context of other metrics.

This seems to be a trend among liberals, publish BS that everyone knows is BS with the idea they can point to it later. Then the burden of proof is on conservatives to dispute the “public record” of the past with facts that are hard to obtain or get cooked over time to support their arguments. Given the liberal slant of most networks a counter opinion may be hard or impossible to find, further reinforcing their falsehoods.

We need to put an end to this kind of manipulation of history.

This dude is a piece of work.

Geithner never seems to disappoint with ever new, unexpected lows of performance.

These CLOWNS lie like this because they think they can. Historically when the press buys into a lie they will repeat it often enough that a large segment of the population will buy the lie so that it becomes fact.

It is becoming obvious to even some of the OBAMA kool aide drinkers that it’s all over if we allow these traitors to continue. That is what they are, traitors, and until we take them down the country is in very serious trouble.

The country is in serious trouble even when we put Americans back in to control and that does NOT mean electing Republicans, it means electing AMERICANS.
