Good morning. Timothy Geithner on two shows this week. A clear indication of how important it is to distract the economy is to Barack Obama. Hope Tax-Cheat Timmy got his taxes done already, with all these guest appearances.

[mathluv]

Fox sounds okay for a change.

[NautiNurse]

Obambi is competing with Geithner in this 10am network market. We’ll need to track the program ratings.

Thanks AB for the thread,looks like more DBM L/W picks as per usual.

For your reading enjoyment:

GORDON BROWN’S carefully laid plans for a G20 deal on worldwide tax cuts have been scuppered by an eve-of-summit ambush by European leaders.

Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, last night led the assault on the prime minister’s “global new deal” for a $2 trillion-plus fiscal stimulus to end the recession.

“I will not let anyone tell me that we must spend more money,” she said.

The Spanish finance minister, Pedro Solbes, also dismissed new cash being pledged at Thursday’s London summit.

“In these conditions I and the rest of my colleagues from the eurozone believe there is no room for new fiscal stimulus plans,” he said.

Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on Thursday blamed the global economic crisis on “white people with blue eyes” and said it was wrong that black and indigenous people should pay for white people’s mistakes.

Speaking in Brasília at a joint press conference with Gordon Brown, the UK prime minister, Mr Lula da Silva told reporters: “This crisis was caused by the irrational behaviour of white people with blue eyes, who before the crisis appeared to know everything and now demonstrate that they know nothing.”

Okay, now that I've had some coffee, let me try that again.

Good morning. Timothy Geithner on two shows this week. A clear indication of how important the economy is to Barack Obama. Hope Tax-Cheat Timmy got his taxes done already, with all these guest appearances.

Morning AB, All.

Nods to AB for sponsoring this thread every week.

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. Tentative Name is the Obama-Bores-America-Most-Always and the network will pre-empt American Idol and Dancing With the Stars every time there’s competition in the time slot.

Any takers? Send money.

One day, maybe Wednesdays, will be All Michelle, featuring “gardening in high heels and no gloves” and “exercises to tone upper arms and dresses to display them with”.

I’m telling you, this is a winner.

[txradioguy]

I wonder if Geithner has found where in the Constitution this bailout is allowed yet?

[Bernard]

The Constitution.... the Constitution...

Wasn't that an important document once upon a time? I expect that Michelle will eventually make part of the door mat at the front door of the White House, just in time for the annual "First Lady Tour of the White House" show.

The question will be, how much money will the networks have to pay to buy the programming rights for that show? I bet it won't be on Fox.

The socialists are flexing their muscles.
Only the light of day shown here and a few other places like here,

The great Michael Yon reporting on yet another venue, our present war with Afghanistan,can keep the truth afloat.
Great job TX.

[txradioguy]

I’d be more willing to bet they have in composted into recycled 7th Generation toilet paper.

That’s about as much respect they have for that “flawed document”.

The dear leader has it all figured out,he will only be happy when we all make $.50 per hour,(except for union workers of course)

[Cedric]

I heard somewhere that under the proposed Obama budget, the United States Of America would, thus, lack the necessary financial qualifications to join the European Union if it were to apply.

Is that true?

[kabar]

John McCain on again. I guess he is supposed to represent the GOP view against Geithner. What a farce. Where is Paul Ryan or Gregg? They are both much more knowledgeable about budget issues. This is another set up by the MSM to make Reps look bad. The grumpy old man against the whiz kid. McCain must be defeated in the 2010 primary.
