He has better things to do.

Rattner is moving full-speed ahead with construction of a lavish, $15 million summer home in the Lambert’s Cove area of West Tisbury on Martha’s Vineyard — a palatial mansion he’s had in the works since 2006. It’s caused a furor among wealthy Vineyard residents, who’ve called the planned 15,500-square-foot project far too big and gaudy, The Post’s Mark DeCambre reports.

May 18, 2009 —

STEVEN Rattner, the auto industry adviser to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, is flagrantly thumbing his nose at President Obama’s call for Americans to make sacrifices in the collapsing economy.

Rattner is moving full-speed ahead with construction of a lavish, $15 million summer home in the Lambert’s Cove area of West Tisbury on Martha’s Vineyard — a palatial mansion he’s had in the works since 2006.

It’s caused a furor among wealthy Vineyard residents...

*snip*

Rattner has been tough on banks and hedge-fund managers unwilling to take haircuts on stakes they own in failing car companies.

Yet Rattner, his wife, Maureen White, the former national finance chair for the Democratic Party, and their four children enjoy plush lifestyles because of the success of his Quadrangle Group hedge fund, which manages Mayor Bloomberg’s $16 billion fortune.

His fund has been under scrutiny in a pension scandal being probed by state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo.

My first reaction was there is no other more incompetent liberal to be the car czar than Mikey Moore... his movie makes him about the brightest star the liberals could find with what they consider first hand knowledge.
