Re: Geithner gets ripped a new one
Geithner has that same doe-eyed, loopy look that the bad guy in Ghost has. You know, the young guy who ends up getting impaled on a nasty shard of window glass and then is dragged down to hell.

to let the people think it wasn't the D at the end of the name that caused the problems but a few bad eggs like Geithner and Napolitano.TheDancinMonarch wrote:Why wait?dgreco wrote:Come October Geithner will be thrown to the curb as a scapegoat.

Stewart Varney on Fox Business News actually stood up for Geithner today, saying that this particular charge was incorrectly laid at his feet.danefan wrote:My first reaction when i saw the headline.....but man he looks geniunely pissed.native wrote:

I have a hard time believing that creditors of AIG, GM, Chrysler, etc....wouldn't take less than 100 cents on the dollar for their debts that would have otherwise been worth nothing.

Sorry, danefane, I didn't catch the whole thing. Your point is well taken.danefan wrote:Who's fault did he say it was then?native wrote:

And it will not be an advantage to wait until a few months before mid terms to fire Geithner and Napolitano. This incompetent and tone deaf President is walking himself off the plank.
