Maybe that’s why the market went up today.
Kudlow RULES. He’s right Turbo Tax Timmy is in way over his head.
But a new chief of staff still will not help Oshama.
Think more than a few Dims are wondering about “High Crimes and Misdemeanors?”
So how would Obama replace him? It’s not like there’s a big supply of good candidates.
Anyone note what the ex SEC official had to say....?
About all of the Billions flowing overseas from the Bailout?
Inquiring minds want to know ... if Turbo Tax Cheat Timmie is sh!t-canned, will widdle Timmie have to pay his back taxes plus penalties and interest, like the rest of us peasants?
The SNL parody was the kiss of death for Timmah! Geitner. [Pardon my South Parkism]
That’s great...until Obama replaces him with Paul Krugman. ;)
Obama is an enemy of the constitution and the United States.
Bernie Madoff can be pardoned and at work within a week.
Let’s not forget: http://www.salon.com/tech/htww/2009/03/09/its_all_geithners_fault/index.html
It’s all Geithner’s fault!
No Treasury secretary in living memory has entered office with bigger economic problems, or faced as harsh a reaction, in his first month as has Tim Geithner. But can he really be fingered as the guy who started the global financial train wreck?
That, essentially, is what the former prime minister of Australia, Paul Keating, said in a speech last Thursday, as reported by the Sydney Morning Herald. (Thanks to Yves Smith at Naked Capitalism and several readers for the tip.)
Let’s take a trip in the way-back machine, to 1997, when the Asian financial crisis was ravaging the world. In the initial media reaction to Geithner’s appointment as Treasury secretary, he received high marks for his efforts handling the crisis while an underling in the Clinton Treasury Department. Keating demurs.
I think this is more a reflection of Obama's style of simply throwing people under the bus to deflect criticism from himself. This way he gets to keep voting "Present" and let everyone else take the blame when things aren't good.
When things go well (if that ever happens), I'm sure Obie will step up to the teleprompter, and take credit.
Gee, who would have guessed that a guy who can’t figure out TurboTax couldn’t handle running the U.S. economy? /sar
Obama to Geithner- “Here come da bus, here come da bus.”
Well, 2nd rate people surround themselves with 3rd rate people
Oh, but Geitner is the only human on the planet intelligent enough for the position. He’s such a brain that even when he broke the law and didn’t pay his own taxes correctly we need for forget about it and let him play deity with the economy. That’s what great leader said.
Hard to get people to pay taxes when a tax cheat is running things. Looks a tad hypocritical even for liberals.
