Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel are never far from each other’s side, according to detailed daily schedules obtained by The Wall Street Journal Thursday through a Freedom of Information Act request.
From January to July, Geithner and Emanuel met in person, spoke on the phone, or left messages for each other at least 108 times—interactions that don’t include broader meetings with White House officials or informal contacts such as hallway chats.
Contact between the two senior administration officials picked up after Feb. 10, the day Geithner delivered a widely panned speech outlining his bank rescue plan that prompted an immediate drop in bank stocks.
After that, as The Wall Street Journal reported at the time, President Barack Obama asked his chief of staff to take a more active role in overseeing plans to stabilize the financial sector—prompting more interactions between the two men. Within Treasury, the mantra became: “Rahm wants it.”
Flurries of communications between the two occur around other key dates. For instance, on March 22 Geithner and Emanuel spoke on the phone five times and Geithner left him a sixth message that was returned first thing on March 23.

Guess who’s in charge ........
As in “who’s pitching, who’s catching?”
Did Timmt ever hire anyone to help him out?
They’re both midgets and feel insecure around taller people.
Well, I hope they both end up on the same chain gang.
The scary thing is that Geithner made his way up thru the ranks from the help of REPUBLICANS
He started out working with Henry Kissinger....and was appointed to run the New York Fed by GEORGE W BUSH
Geithner, like many GOPers today....is LIBERAL Anti-American Globalist.
Rahm is a modern day Caiaphas.
BUMP
I think of him as a product of the cross pollination of Joseph Goebbels and Al Capone.
He's the one that needs to go down.
We should embrace Saul Alinsky; he should be our new Guru. Most pertinent of his rules:
5. "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counteract ridicule...
7. "A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag. Man can sustain militant interest in any issue for only a limited time...."
8. "Keep the pressure on, with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose."
9. "The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself."
10. "...unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign."
11. "If you push a negative hard and deep enough, it will break through into its counterside... every positive has its negative."
12. "The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative."
13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.
Sauce for the goose...
I think Rahm looks more like the Grinch.
Don't know about Tim, but Rahm... well-l-l-l...
I hope they both end up in different cells with big friendly cell mates.
Rham is spooky looking. Does he wear eye shadow or is that from lack of sleep?
