It’s got my vote for “article of the day.”
The reason Geithner stays is simple. He’s a rabid partisan and that is what Obama wants.
S&P gave Obama an ‘AA+’ for his amazing work on the economy! Geitner is looking to do the same!
Geithner spent most of his childhood abroad, living in India, Thailand and Zimbabwe. His father, Peter Geithner, is an Asia expert who worked at the Ford Foundation for 28 years. link
The part that is satire is the claim that he boosted the debt by $3 trillion. The number is actually $4 trillion according to the Treasury Direct debt calculator.
Turbo Tax Tim,under Obama’s orders,wrecked the US economy and gave us the Obama Downgrade.As long as he keeps his job Obama avoids blame.
Democrats are snakes who kill,shed their skin and then blame it on the guy “back there.”
geithner is staying because he is a rabid partisan and does what obama wants. Also, obama has the threat if an irs audit hanging over timmy’s head.
obama owns timmy.
Obviously contributing to today’s market stability...
Business as usual by this administration. No plan to solve it, just raise revenues (taxes).
Who else would hire him now?
And who would take the job if he leaves? I'm only half kidding.
Perhaps it's the other way around?
Timmy owns Obama
Perhaps Timmy's dad knew of some Obama family secrets and passed them down....:^)
Frankly I think everything about Geithner is a sideshow.
I believe history will show he was a “face”, a stand-in on the Obama finance and economic team, chosen to run a bureaucracy, not to decide policy.
I believe Obama has one policy - grow the size and reach of the Federal government, period.
Everything else is subservient to that policy.
Little Timmy Geithner is no more the architect or a co-erchitect of either Federal budget objectives or Treasury policy than I am.
He is given his marching orders. Told to go out in front of the cameras when asked, say what he is told to say and get back to running a bureaucracy. If he doesn’t behave Obama will reveal just how useless Geithner has been and blow the administration’s own cover on how needed he is - not.
Obama gets his directives from others, not the face people in his Cabinet.
Therefor, GOP leaders; quit calling for Geithner to leave. His departure will not change what Obama wants one iota.
Timmy boy along with zero will continue to stimulate us, of course a mess will be made and we common folks will have to clean it up !
