HORSHAM, England — U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner was the new man among a crowd of silver-haired finance ministers from the Group of 20 leading economies — and some of them let him know it.

Financial officials and markets around the world are waiting for Geithner to come up with details on U.S. solutions to fix the crisis of confidence in the American banking system that has paralyzed lending and could worsen a downturn that has already swept away company profits and thousands of jobs.

They aren't waiting patiently. Brazilian Finance Minister Guido Mantega said there is an "urgency" for the U.S. to solve its banking problem.

"If they're going to be nationalized then go ahead, if they are going to be liquidated then go ahead. But it must be done quickly,"

I agree. He's going to be known as take a hike Gietner

“Plan? We will just print money, like in Zimbabwe.”

Two thoughts.

A) TOOLS!

B) Husband was explaining the Zimbabwe economy to our son the other night over supper. Sonny is 21, out on his own, working and going to college and JUST scraping by; hence yet ANOTHER meal at our table. Sonny had a hard time grasping the concepts, so Husband finally said to him, “Don’t worry. You’ll be LIVING it soon enough.”

“I almost feel sorry for Geithner...his life must be pure hell right now.”

Well, he IS the only one occupying the ENTIRE Treasury Building right now. Just answering the PHONES all day must be pretty taxing, LOL!

Dork. I’m betting he quits pretty soon. However, not soon enough to save us...

I do not feel sorry for him. He could do the ‘right thing’ and resign. . .for the good of our Country. He could also demand ‘help’. Seems Soros is on vacation; and little Tim is left out to dry; and by his own folks in DC as well.

Democrats don't have any faith in Zero and Geithner. Geithner job as New York Fed chairman was to monitor all the ills we are facing now.

What a joke and tax cheat in a Real Job.

I need someone to ask him what he did as New York Fed Chairman?

He’s part of the Bilderberg group and new world order. For more, watch this. It’s 2 hours long but very much worth watching.

Then there is the CDS crapola to get under control (though it’s clearly tied to who going to go under or not).

Would the first adult arriving at the White House please send out apology letters to foreign leaders for the ongoing parties our children have held in DC for the past few months while we have been away?

>> Geithner and his Master Hussein are idiots.

That’s a rather generous assessment of their capabilities, IMO. But good on you for giving them the benefit of the doubt.

I think his entire cabinet should resign. Bumbling idiots.

I think he should resign or, at least, show us his birth certificate!

Then we learned that Geithner's father worked with Obama's mother and that Obama and Geithner were born only one month apart.

WHERE! Ask them where!

Is it just me or does Eddie Haskell Geithner look like he despises Zero?
