*snip*

Obama told "60 Minutes" interviewer Steve Kroft that criticism of Geithner is natural and that neither he nor Geithner had mentioned the possibility of a resignation. The president, according to CBS, joked that he wouldn't accept the Treasury chief's resignation even if it were tendered, saying he'd respond, "Sorry, buddy, you've still got the job."

I want to know how many takes and how long it took them to film this segment. The presi teleprompter must have been going out of his/her (politically correct) mind.

If the Geithners knew the mother, maybe they know who the father is.

“Mr. Geithner has amply demonstrated a unique ability to take the blame for my mistakes. Oh, by the way, do you mind if we go off the record for a few seconds? My teleprompter is not working.”

Bambi needs to keep Geithner because he knows that no one else would accept the job. Geithner can’t even get undersecretaries. Nobody in his right mind wants to be part of Bambi’s disaster.
