You wanna know the real reason Obama picked Timothy Geithner?

Barack Obama - Born Aug 4, 1961
Timothy Geithner - Born Aug 18, 1961

Timothy Geithner’s one great qualification is that he is younger than Barack Obama.

In fact, four Cabinet Secretaries are younger than our very young President. So are the Administrator of the EPA, the Director of the OMB, and our Ambassador to the UN.

My sister was named a Assistant Deputy Treasurer to the State of Michigan at a ridiculously young age in the administration of Governor Jim Blanchard (AKA The Boy Gov). Blanchard was elected Governor of Michigan at the age of 41, and insisted that head of the various departments of state government be younger than he was. These department heads then went out and selected deputies that were even younger than they were. So my sister, at the age of 32, was entrusted with a very high-profile job, because she was the one person in the state who met the qualifications and was younger than her boss.

I would wager that the pool of qualified applicants for Deputy Tresurer of the United States who happen to be born after August 18, 1961 is pretty thin. No wonder they are having such a hard time filling these 17 positions...

reinforcing the White House stance that new U.S. energy policy will focus on promoting renewable energy sources like wind and solar power and rely less on traditional fossil fuels like oil

This new 13 percent tax on all oil and gas production in the Gulf would only affect those companies

.
See the 13% increase at your local gas pump, feel the restricting budget, as staying home every night won’t be enough to pay your energy bills

....but I honestly think he just has absolutely no clue what he is doing.

And, the backlash chorus is growing louder and louder with every passing day because Obamalamadingdong keeps opening his mouth, inserting his foot and chewing vigorously. His recent comment about PE ratio being "profit and earnings", among other recent comments, seems to have made quite a few folks sit up and take notice. (finally) Now, even a handful of Dims in the Senate are opposing the omnibus spending bill, perhaps enough to kill it and the proposed Obamalamadingdong budget. It's becoming quite clear that Obama isn't nearly as slick or as brilliant as some thought, even some on the left. If he were as slick and brilliant as some have given him credit for he'd be far more subtle with his tactics. IMHO, we are about to witness the Obama administration go down in flames and it will start from the left side of the aisle.....

I do not think Tim Geithner has the business acumen to successfully run a paper route.

“They know exactly what they are doing. Dems want as much economic chaos as they can create right now to ram through as much legislation and earmarks that increases their power while the general public is scrambling to deal with all the blows they’ve been hit with.”

That’s right. They are Cloward-Pivening us.

Jim Rogers (of Rogers Holdings) says that Geithner "has never known what he's doing". And pretty soon, even Obama will find that out.

As President of the NY Fed, Geithner oversaw the massive train wreck on Wall Street. He was actually part of the problem.

Hey I just realized something. “Reparations” have started. Since Jan. 20 we’ve been paying “reparations” with no end in sight. Probably the ultimate payback for slavery is to enslave everyone. The theme of this administration is “payback is a bitch”.

Word on Wall Street is that Geithner is asking Wall Street what he should do.

should not receive federal subsidies in the form of tax breaks “

So now, being allowed to keep the moneys you earned is
government largess, how nice of them.

Sick and twisted people these socialists.
