Well Geithner, you can thank Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid who Friday mornning said "And we as a Senate refuse to waste even one more day on this piece of legislation."

As it was the only peice of legislation there was that would lift the $14.3 trillion debt cap and avoid a national default.

If the republicans weren’t a factor, what plan would the dems use to remedy this problem?

Tim Geithner hasn’t paid his income taxes and doesn’t have a clue what to do with the bull he is riding

I can’t believe this guy is running the treasury dept. Tim Geithner couldn’t run his finger up his butt.

He will just move the deadline back and back until they get what they want.

As a second option, Geithner pointed to a fallback plan in the Senate that would enact smaller cuts now and entrust a special committee to craft broader deficit reduction in the future.

Elected officials are great at kicking the can down the road and abdicating responsibility. Are there any other jobs where these are 2 valued skills?

I think these commies are in a state of shock that we the people have the audacity to draw the line in the sand. They have no clue how to handle that. So they get belligerant and try to demonize us...which nixxes us off more! They have no clue how close to the edge they are right now of some really serious plucked up times for themselves.

Geithner: Never Thought Debt Talks Would Come 'This Close to The Edge'

Tim "Unexpectedly" Geithner. Life is continually blindsiding him. His wife contiunually stays out till 2:00 AM and when she files for divorce, he never saw it coming. The low oil idiot light on his dashboard is burning bright red for 15 miles and when he throws a rod, it was "unexpected". He invests a trillion dollars in some chain letter that he heard about in a Nigerian email forwarded by Joe Biden and when the scheme goes bust and no one ever knows were the money went, he's left scratching his head on the Sunday talk shows. "Who could ever have seen that coming?", he asks.

DO YOU NEED $8,000,000,000,000?

Let Paul Krugman tell you how I have run one of these promotion letters — four times in the past year. The First time I received $7 trillion in cash and around $7.8 trillion the other three. If this letter is continued as it should be, everyone profits! Yes, and don't worry about financing or paying money back. After the first time, you'll see what I mean, and next time you will be more eager and glad. Now, let me give you the complete story and details.

Please forward them and in about 30 days you will be $8,000,000,000,000 richer.

This letter will pay up to $8 trillionbecause there are only four names at all times. Three moves and you are in a position to receive one trillion dollars from each participant. This chain letter was initiated by Franklin Roosevelt from New Hyde Park, New York, for the purpose of political immortality. But, now this has been expanded. Your participation is one trillion dollars to the first person or country in the Number One position below, while omitting the name to whom you sent the dollar. Then, move the list of names up one place and place your name at the bottom. Mail a copy of this letter to 20 new prospects.

MAIL YOUR LETTERS within 48 HOURS AND DO NOT BREAK THE CHAIN. When your name reaches the Number One position, it will be your turn to collect the fees. They will be sent to you by 8 trillion persons like yourself. Please DO NOT BREAK THE CHAIN BECAUSE IT REALLY WORKS!! In fact, I guarantee it, provided you do not break the chain and follow the simple rules above. Try it and see. You are investing ONLY, ONE TRILLION DOLLAR, and that is all you can lose. Be sure to copy this letter completely. Don't leave any of it out.

Send your report to Imperial Sales Company, 3096 Ivey Avenue, Lagos, Nigeria. Let us know when your fee was sent and how much you received within nine days. We have at the present time almost 100% return to the people carrying out this letter promotion. The majority received $7.8 trillion. If four names should be listed on your promotion, the one in Number One position is omitted, after you send him your one dollar. Then, put your name and address in the Number Four position.

$8 trillion in capital absolutely free! Send letters only to people who have treasuries or whom you personally consider "Doers." Look — 20,000 times 20,000 times 20,000 equals 8 trillion!!!!.

This is a bunch of baloney. Only the interest on the debt is due. It is a tiny fraction of what has been thrown around over the last two years. It’s only a microscopic amount compared to what has been and is being wasted every day. It needs to STOP NOW! I pray that Boehner will have the courage to say NO.
These idiotic grants need to be the first thing to go. Then, I could cut enough in 1 hour to get us through the next 10 years of interest payments. STOP THE BORROWING AND LENDING!

Please God, help us save the United States of America again!
Thank you!

What did he expect when they reject the Republican plans, and then don’t come up with a plan of their own. Oh, I am sorry they did have a plan. It was to raise the debt ceiling until after the 2012 election, and then deal with the problem.

Maybe he shouldn’t consult TurboTax on everything.

The one thing I want to know is why they were in a rush to make a deal today before the markets opened. even if I believed Armageddon was around the corner if they didn’t deal the deadline is NEXT week. I don’t want a deal written over night unseen anyway but this group has been trying to panic the markets a week early. why the Republicans have let them I don’t know. They’ve been acting like the deadline was this week as well

You got to be kidding. Here’s a guy that can’t even operate Turbo Tax and he’s giving warnings about the debt limit. I think that he may have a credibility issue. Maybe he should get together with Slow Joe Biden and do a little image and credibility building.

Any sentence that starts out “I didn’t think” is already complete.

Why is it that everyone - top to bottom - in this administration is so surprised about everything. Not a one of them has a lick of sense.

Share the video with all your friends. Click. It is so ridiculous. In Geithner's opinion the House should just play ball so that Democrats stand a chance in the 2012 election, and because the Obama administration has absolutely no concept of what to do in the event of a default. These people are INCOMPETENT. They have guzzled their own kool-aid.
