Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner strongly defended President Obama from criticism that he was distracted from dealing with the economy in 2009 as he tried to pass healthcare reform.

“Absolutely not," Geithner told CBS News' Norah O'Donnell when asked if Obama had taken "his eye off the ball on jobs.''

"He was relentlessly focused on it," Geithner said in the interview that aired Tuesday night. "And in fact he was doing things that were deeply difficult politically for him.”

Geithner cited the $825-billion stimulus package passed in early 2009, along with the government rescue of General Motors and Chrysler, as well as enactment of financial reform as proof Obama was focused on reducing unemployment.

He’s focused on destroying them. That is unsaid, but very true.

Well, I just wish he was as “relentlessly” focussed on winning re-election.

Then even a Ron Paul would be elected!!!

[Scott from the Left Coast]

His own.

Yep, yep, he has to STOP focusing on jobs for overseas countries and focus on jobs HERE! But his POLOCIES are DRIVING our jobs overseas!!! Especially with the help of his union thug fans.

Focus = 1,000 speeches

[ColdOne]

The only job he is relentlessly focused on is his own. He is in constant re-elect mode.

The Cretin-in-Chief has never been competent in ANY job, let alone this one.

He is an idiot, packaged in a coat of stupidity.

Wrapped up in cretinism.

And covered in bull-Obama.

This “thing” couldn’t focus on anything.

Obama has been 'relentlessly focused' on jobs

If true, he's a failure. If false, he's derelict of duty.

[mikey_hates_everything]

Relentlessly focused? On jobs or the golf ball?

[tumblindice]

He’s incompetent or malevolent, or both.

Sure. Obama has been focused on watching them fly out the door at an unprecedent rate. He is King of the job destroyers.
