1. mealy mouth geithner

man, I just didn't know he talks like a 95 IQ- no one would get away with such choking lack of intellect where I work.

16. It is appauling that he can deliberately be so evasive, and

refuse to directly answer any question asked of him, and be held in any kind of respect by member of our party.

This lying weasel should be out on the street. Our party should be throwing him out on the street.

:wtf:

[fascisthunter]

2. What a Fricking Weasel Geithner is...

... he barely answered a question... This man belongs in jail. His philosophy and those who share his views are nothing but criminal punk asses that need a too much of a coward to play it straight like Americans are supposed to. It's called responsibility and accountability. Be a fucking man and do the right thing for once in your pathetic life.

3. I agree.

Timmy decries the failure of the government to prevent the economic disaster we have, yet opposes resurrecting or implementing new policy to prevent the abuse and corruption in our financial system.

Always make the government the bad guy and protect your crooked friends in the fiancial markets, Timmy. You're a good soldier.

Why this idiot still has his job is beyond me.

4. Heck of a Job, Timmie!!!!

"Well, I have complete confidence in Tim Geithner and my entire economic team,” Obama said as he departed the White House for California yesterday.

"Nobody’s working harder than this guy. You know, he is making all the right moves in terms of playing a bad hand. And what we need to be doing is making sure that we are providing him the support that he needs in order to work through all these problems so that we’re able to deal with them more effectively in the future.”--- Barack Obama

5. Many things should have been done a year ago....

Get out of NAFTA, remove tax breaks for off shoring, moratorium on foreclosures, bring the troops home, medicare for all, a giant infrastructure rebuilding program.

There are people that should be gone.. or never have been put there in the first place.. Geithner, Summers, Gates, Rham Emanuel....

I don't see anything happening except the onslaught of Great Depression II during 2010.

6. This is incredible. We lend them money at 0% and aren't allowed to know who we

make the loans to. They use that money to loan back to us, and he doesn't believe there should be even an interest cap of 15%????? They are laughing at us.

[JDPriestly]

11. What kind of idiots does Geithner take us for?

How stupid does he think we are?

Because, I've got news for him. He is not fooling anybody.

The only people who agree with him are the Wall Street gamblers. The rest of us are having to deal with the mess that he and those he is protecting made, and we don't like it.

We understand far more than Timothy Geithner seems to think. I really underestimates the public.

This evening my Congressman answered questions from constituents in a conference telephone call. Over 80% of the people who called in from my district voted on the phone to impose the fees on the banks that the President has suggested.

My Congressman was pleasantly surprised at how well informed the constituents in his District are. I think that the folks in D.C. have no idea as to just how much information we have and how carefully we follow what is going on. The internet has revolutionized the people simply by providing us the information we need to evaluate what is going on around us. Timothy Geithner and the rest of the folks in D.C. have not yet grasped the fact that they simply cannot hide information from us any more. We know and inform ourselves about what is going on. And when we cannot find information, the fact that it is being hidden from us is glaringly obvious.

Timothy Geithner and Bernanke are hiding the ball. It's just a matter of time until it bounces into center court and shoves them out of the way.

7. Geithner continues to hurt the administration

He's starting to remind me of Sarah Palin-the words come tumbling out in these long sentences which don't answer anything-Ok no one can match Palin for her knack of speaking English like she is translating on the spot-but he is such a bullshitter, and so unwilling to give up any information whatsoever, as if he is protecting some secret society that we mortals wouldn't understand...we don't need a guy like that on our team-he just doesn't present himself as trustworthy and I'm sure he gets rolled by the big boys and doesn't even understand how they are playing him.

8. Giether is a lying sack...

Of Shit! And A douche-bag..............

[truedelphi]

12. Whenever Geithner states what he says will happen

I note to myself that probably the exact opposite will occur!

[suede1]

9. Senator Sanders, we need more of you in the senate. Geithner, you've done enough damage, just take

the job that's waiting for you at Goldman Sacks and stop hurting the country. At least from a government position.

[grahamhgreen]

10. A financial predator. We lend them @ 0%, they lend back to us @ 30%. Fire him Obama!

And go Bernie!

[Granny M]

13. Condescending slimy creep.

Please dump this guy, Mr. President.

[dotymed]

14. A straight answer from Giethner?

:rofl:

[Enthusiast]

15. It is almost as if

the Administration (Geithner) wants the electorate to hold the Democratic Party responsible for this country's economic ills. Okay, maybe it just seems that way. But it is pretty concrete to me.

What the fuck is going on here?

There is obviously much more going on here than meets the eye.

God bless Bernie Sanders, a real American hero fighting against economic terrorism

[tomg]

17. Why didn't Getihner just

plead the 5th. As my father used to say "talking out of both side of his mouth and blowing it out his ass all at the same time."
