...grandfather, Paul Herman Geithner (1902–1972), emigrated with his parents from Zeulenroda, Germany to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1908. His father, Peter F. Geithner, is the director of the Asia program at the Ford Foundation in New York. During the early 1980s, Peter Geithner oversaw the Ford Foundation's microfinance programs in Indonesia being developed by S. ANN DUNHAM-SOETORO, President Barack Obama's MOTHER, and they met in person at least once. Timothy Geithner's mother, Deborah Moore Geithner, is a pianist and piano teacher ... Geithner's maternal grandfather, Charles F. Moore, was an adviser to President Dwight D. Eisenhower and served as Vice President of Public Relations from 1952-1964 for FORD MOTOR COMPANY.

Zero and his picks always remind me of the young help you get at the hardware store. They will give you an answer to your guestion but you know damn well they don’t know what they are talking about.
The same reason he is administration is loaded with cheats, liers and thieves, to keep the spotlight off of his cheating, lies and be a thief.
He’s a hand maiden of the NWO. Part of the team and all.
Timmy The Wunderkind indeed - quite the charmed life but then that’s what makes them the Elite.
This “Ford connection” will attempt to use GM and Chrysler to take down Ford.
We all need to stand behind Ford if Freedom is to survive.
I had dinner with some people who had GM Bonds and I asked the question “Well, you voted for change, How much more is it worth and can you afford it?”
They then blamed Giethner to which I replied “You do know that Tim Geithner and Obama are child hood friends?”
They said “What do you mean?”.
To which I explained:
Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham-Soetoro, worked with Tim Geithner’s father, Peter Geithner to establish micro financing, in Indonesia, through the Ford Foundation. In fact Peter Geithner still works at the Ford Foundation. Obama has obviously known Tim for several years.
Is his appointment a little quid pro quo or payback for his father helping Obama’s mother?
He like many of Oboma’s appointees was born in other countries and have been fellow travelers, such as Obama and his mother. What was the unique relationship to Obama’s appointees before the election?
They were flabbergasted! I said that is your team and it is no coincidence just as it is no coincidence that Obama held one of his first fund raising parties in the home of his friend and neighbor Bill Ayers.
None of these guys are strangers to each other.
I thought it was because Obama knew the tax cheat (read: felony theft punishable by up to 20 years in prison for anybody else) could make the Chinese laugh.
So how did they feel about this information?
he is just as tenuous for his appointment of Sonia "la Raza" Sotomajor !!

Yeah, that’s the truth, once I took my truck to Pep Boys for tires and this future Obama voter asked me whether I wanted an alignment. I said yes and then he proceeds to write me up for a thrust alignment which costs $30 more because he said my truck needed it. I asked what that was (knowing) and he proceeds to tell me about adjusting alignment of all four wheels, independently. I told him I’d like to see him do that on a rear axle with fixed shaft and wheels.....seeing his stupidity he then tells me “well, truck alignments cost more”. I told him show me in the price list. He didn’t I said cancel the tires and give me my truck back.
Quick and appropos wit there fella! Kudos!

Zero’s picks remind me of the kids who used to get the plum jobs because their dad held the note on the owner’s small business loan.
This is a very good article in all. I hope your capitalization is not your grasping on one or two threads because there are many. But overall, article and comments, you are getting warmer.
Think Venezuela as the model.
We then moved on to dumber subjects like gay marriage.
