I heard that, too. It would have to have been here or on Fox.

[Miss Didi]

To those with extra cash...I am starting up a new business venture that I think has real potential. It’s an All-Obama-All-of-the-Time Cable Network.

Perhaps you can get the Beltway Boys in your lineup...this morning they praised Barry for being a great Commander-in-Chief.

Good Morning, FRiends...and Happy Sunday! For the folks who don't watch American Idol, Barry got a shout-out from Stevie Wonder. During his live performance on Thursday night, Stevie slipped an "I love you Barack Obama" into his new hit song. We were screaming on the Idol thread.

[cdchik123]

Stephy already praising Geithner on how he’s fixed the economy..

[TornadoAlley3]

Geithner is creepy.

[mathluv]

I quit the AI thread early. Sounds like I am glad I did.

[rodguy911]

Exactly Kabar, the DBM will not allow anyone who would actually ask a tough question of any of the dear leader facilitators.

[Bahbah]

Geithner is creepy.

Isn't he though.

[txradioguy]

You heard correctly.

The United States wouldn’t even be eligible to enter the European Union if it wanted to because of its debt levels, Sen. Judd Gregg (R-N.H.) claimed Thursday.

“We won’t even be able to get into the EU if we wanted to,” Gregg said this morning on MSNBC, “because our government is so large and so huge.”

The European Union’s Stability and Growth Pact (SGP) adopted in 1997 requires a budget deficit to be less than three percent, and requires a national debt beneath 60 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

“We’ve been lectured by France on the fact that we’re not fiscally responsible right now,” Gregg, the would-be commerce secretary, noted with incredulity.

According to the Congressional Budget Office, the yearly budget deficit would fall well beyond that threshold in coming years.

Still, Gregg expressed resignation with the likelihood that the Obama administration’s proposed budget would emerge successfully from Congress.

“He’s in charge, and they’ve got the votes here in Congress,” he said.

[txradioguy]

He’s the MSM’s “golden boy” again.

Remember Liberals LOVE rewarding failure.

This is a case in point.

[txradioguy]

Well of course. He got his talking points from Rahm on the conference call before the broadcast.

[Cedric]

I think we’ve gone through the looking glass!

[Bahbah]

Gregory asks perfectly sensible questions and Geithner gives utterly nonsensical answers and they both move on.

[TornadoAlley3]

Geithner- “people are going to care less about what they make”

um, not me:)

[Son House]

MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner;

Both Sides Now: One moment Geithner’s saying Americans need to take out more loans, and then the nest he’s saying Americans had already loaned too much...

Geithner “The alternatives”[fear, baby, fear]

Geithner “the best...”[tax cuts for the rich, Einstein]

Geithner on bonus outrage “contracts written before...”[before Democrats got their campaign donations]

[Geithner keeps turning his head and looking at host from a sideways stare, not a blink, raising his eyebrows]

Geithner “we’re going to continue to get people in banking”[no one wants to do business with you Einstien, you can’t even fill your treasury department; of course, the story about having more Muslims serve Øbama makes sense, sharia bankers]

[Alas Babylon!]

I think we’ve gone through the looking glass!

Yup. On Nov 8th, 2008, to be exact.

[Bernard]

Tin-foil hat time: If Mehgan McCain is old enough to run for the Senate seat in 2010, watch John step aside. If she isn't old enough yet, he runs again to keep the seat warm until she is. She's already working on being the liberal media's darling, so all she needs now is an elected position that keeps her inside the Beltway.

When we get a term limits law passed, it should include limits on family members as well. And it should include media types, government payrollers, and any and all other bed-wetting commmunists.

[txradioguy]

We went through that on Jan. 20th of this year.

[rodguy911]

Geithner is the king of double/dem/new/speak until he goes in front of the CFR and then it's yet a different story. Who knows what the real truth is.

[Bahbah]

And here’s McCain with all the vim and vigor of a pet rock and an intellect pretty much in line with that.

[Bahbah]

And now John wants to talk about his favorite thing...bipartisanship...where both sides get together and stick it to the American people.
