Geithner to stay on as Treasury chief
Reuters ^ | 8/7/11

Posted on 08/07/2011 12:08:36 PM PDT by truthandlife

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has told President Barack Obama that he intends to stay on the job, Treasury said in a statement on Sunday afternoon.

"Secretary Geithner has let the president know that he plans to stay on in his position at Treasury," Assistant Treasury Secretary Jenni LeCompte said. "He looks forward to the important work ahead on the challenges facing our great country."

Geithner had indicated he might leave after a debt-limit increase was approved, but administration officials indicated that both Obama and the White House chief of staff had urged Geithner not to leave now.

Why not? He’s done such a bang up job so far.

Plus, Obama needs a fall guy.

This could be a trick. Timmy says he wants to stay. That gives obama a chance to fire him.

This smooth talk like I was going to maybe leave but now i am staying will make our ratings worsen. What part do they not get that their plan of destroying our country looks better if they try to at least pretend like they will stop the reckless course they have us on?

They just don’t care they will raise taxes and add to the 22 trillion until there is a communist NWO.

This guarantees additional downgrades. There’s no way this problem gets fixed while the people who were responsible for causing the problem remain in decision-making positions.

Exactly, see my last post. I am glad I am not the only one who sees this.Obama can’t be touched because he is black and any impeachment is racist.

I agree. Those that brought us to this place are going to continue moving us in the same direction. If this was a professional baseball, basketball or football team, these fools would be long gone already.

Look at it logically. Can anyone name any Treasury Secretary since 1980 who’s worth less than $100M? Retirement will not be a problem for Timmy Tax Cheat.

Why should Geithner quit or be fired now?

Geithner is the best fox to be put in charge of the hen house.

Thank you. Excellent article.

Over fifty years ago, my dad who was connected to MI
and operations told me that the Communists would take
over America using "Blacks" as their Trojan Horse.

Prescient.
