I'm going to guess that he will accept Geithner’s resignation.

Why bother to listen. He’s going to blame: Bush, The Tea Party, intransigent Republicans, FOX news, Freepers, climate change, Japanese tsunami, aunt Alice .... etc, etc, etc.

But remember”
Get drunk with dignity
Keep in mind that just because a bulldog licks your face
its not necessary to lick him back
Stay away from drinks with names like
brain seizure or hippo laxative
Get drunk with dignity
If a bar has human ears nailed ot the walls
don’t pass out there
and if your homemade jello has some goldfish in it
you used the wrong bowl
And there are phrases you must learn to avoid
phrases like
“that badge looks stupid”
and
“I can prove these shoes are fireproof”
(Tim Cavanaugh: `Get Drunk with Dignity’)

We have become a Third World country with our fearless leader constantly on TV addressing the latest crisis. Ever since The One took office, we have been in a constant state of turmoil. Everything is a crisis and must be dealt with immediately or the sky will fall.
I am sure Plouffe told Obama to get out there immediately and demonstrate that he is a deficit hawk who pleaded for the grand bargain but those Tea Party types just wouldn't allow Boehner to compromise--the focus group tested word along with a "balanced" solution. Look for the words "compromise" and "balanced" to be mentioned multiple times to ensure the subliminal message is delivered.
And of course our Campaigner in Chief will tell us that America is still an economic powerhouse and a safe place to invest. He will say how he has been in contact with Europe and all is well. No need to panic. And then he will say how he is directing all his energy and efforts to improve the job situation including his directives to Congress on what needs to be done, e.g., extend unemployment benefits and the 2% payroll tax reduction, and employer tax credits for hiring veterans.

Bambi’s between a rock and a hard place. He dimisses the Tea Party (and in fact, the GOP in general) as powerless flakes, but at the same time, when it suits him, he reverses himself and claims to be a poor pathetic picked-upon victim of these suddenly powerful forces. Maybe he should make up his mind.

"This is the 1837th time I have spoken to you from this office, where so many decisions have been made that shaped the history of this Nation. Each time I have done so to discuss with you some matter that I believe affected my personal interests.
From the discussions I have had with Congressional and other leaders, I have concluded that because of the Debt, S & P Downgrade and Fast & Furious matters I might not have the support of the Congress that I would consider necessary to back the very difficult decisions and carry out the duties of this office in the way the my interests would require.
Therefore, I shall resign the Presidency effective at noon tomorrow. Vice President Chuckles the Clown will be sworn in as President at that hour in this office......"
sigh.... I can dream can't I?
