WASHINGTON, Aug. 4 (AP) - (Kyodo)—President Barack Obama has asked Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to stay in office despite his reported intention to step down soon, a White House official indicated Thursday. Geithner is "obviously a key member of the economic team" for Obama and "his service has been extremely valuable" to the country, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters in a daily briefing. "As Secretary Geithner has said, he hasn't decided when he will leave. And he has said he will be here for the foreseeable future," the White House spokesman said.

Yes. Their actions have been so consistently destructive, the only explanation is this being the desired result. Having a tax cheat run the IRS while the Manchurian Kenyan calls for tax hikes is intended to insult and demoralize us.

Spot on aimhigh!

I AGREE WITH THAT

Zer0's entering his 'Jimmy Carter' phase, where the majority of people begin to just tune him out and realize he is a failed president who's words no longer inspire and instead create malaise and concern for the nation. Now all we need is that Plains, Georgia rabbit from 1979.

OBAMA's CARTER PHASE2

Happy Ramadan You Eff'n Commie

Have any of the ‘educated’ retards on 0bama’s “economic team” made even one good decision, or been right about ANYTHING while he’s been in office? I sure as hell can’t think of any such instance....
