California Rep. Maxine Waters, who has her own trouble last week, told a radio show today that President Obama and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner have been clear as miso soup when it comes to AIG.
Waters, speaking on Joe and Mika's radio show:
"Well, you know, they've got some explaining to do and I think the president is going to have to clarify to the American public what took place between Treasury and Mr. Dodd. Obviously there was, appears to have been, some kind of agreement that they would protect the AIG from having to give those bonuses. I don't know who said what and when. Chris Dodd said he wrote the language but that he was pressured practically by Treasury. Maybe the president is not up to speed on what is going on. But I think it is going to have to be clarified."

Looks like some RATS might be thinking about jumping off USS Obama, and throwing Dodd under the bus on the way. Link has a video clip of Maxine later yesterday on MSNBC backpedalling and trying to say that Obama wasn't "given the information in a timely fasion".
Yeah, sure. Don't give me that "wasn't given the information in a timely fasion" crap. There is frankly no excuse for the tremendous ineptitude with which the Obama administration and the Democrats in Congress are handling America's economy.

It's good thing Blazing Saddles was made 35 years ago. I don't think it would be possible today.

“There is frankly no excuse for the tremendous ineptitude with which the Obama administration and the Democrats in Congress are handling America’s economy. “
Sorry I disagree, there is an excuse. BO and the Dem majority are incompetents more interested in pushing the communist agenda and their own personal power.
Americans aren’t very interested in excuses until car companies and banks in general will accept excuses for late payments. Americans also won’t be interested in excuses after their children have been murdered by Iran.

In an interrogation this would be called “rolling over”. May Queen Maxine be the first of many dominos to fall.

It may take fours years of incompetence for us to get another “Reagan” in the White House - but the real question is “Do we have one and is it a she instead of a he? (Sarah Palin?)

The woman who told the oil execs,she would take over their companies, is criticizing a president, who all but took over the financial companies......She couldn't balance a check book but she and her ilk believe they can run the American economy.
Good Lord we are in trouble.

I picture Obama wearing one of those beer hats but instead of beer cans he has 2 prompters that flip down.

It may take fours years of incompetence for us to get another Reagan in the White House - but the real question is can America survive that long?

It was on AMC last night. There was so much bleeped out of it, it was hardly worth watching. One of my favorite movies.

Bill Maher, useful idiot for hypocrites like the bumbling Maxine Waters, in his complete ignorance and blindness, sits there and lets her completely revise her own history.
