Recommend if you think Geithner is part of the problem and should go

[Ardent15]

He's just another Wall Street weasel. I don't trust him and I think someone like Robert Reich should be Treasury Sec instead.

[tritsofme]

1. Too bad we didn't make you president. nt

[grahamhgreen]

2. I just recomended and it stayed at 0 votes....

[Jim Sagle]

5. A herd of DLC jagoffs preceded us.

;)

[NoPasaran]

20. The noun of assembly for DLC jagoffs is "quorum", not "herd"

[Jim Sagle]

24. I sit corrected.

[KittyWampus]

41. AH! Thanks for the tip.

:)

[katandmoon]

12. Ditto

3. I watched him for 3 hours this morning. He was an excellent choice. I'm more impressed

every time I watch him.

[Xipe Totec]

4. Thank you for the opportunity to demonstrate the wisdom of unrecommend n/t

[debbierlus]

60. Yes, the unrecommend will be used a lot by people with their heads in the sand

I am sure the unrecommend button will be very popular with those not vested in confronting difficult truthes....And, I think a lot of very important factual posts will be removed by those who are incapable of hearing unpleasant truthes about the President and the administration.

Geithner institutes Paulson's trash for cash bank bailout that were UNIVERSALLY lambasted on this board. However, since Geithner is Obama's man, its fine implementing the same destructive and non-viable economic policies as a Bush appointee??

That is just sad.

This country does NOT need politicians as celebrities. We need politicians who enact policies for the people, and people who will hold politicians accountable.

[Moochy]

64. But Fuzzy Metrics Are Less Informative and Less Confusing

And Therefore Better. how many unrecs? the shadow knows...

[Xipe Totec]

68. truthes?

:rofl:

[Fumesucker]

6. Thank you for demonstrating how unrecommend will serve the interests of the powers that be..

And I'm not being sarcastic..

Edited for clarity.

[FiveGoodMen]

9. Yup.

[bvar22]

19. Not so fast.

This feature WILL promote Tyranny by the Majority,
but who IS the real majority at DU?
True Issues Oriented Liberals, or the loud LockStepping "Centrists"?
Remember, Kucinich WON all the early straw polls at DU by overwhelming MAJORITIES.


The Party Purists who were celebrating yesterday may regret it tomorrow.
I have noticed that NO threads by the most abrasive lock steppers have made it to the Greatest Page today, but a thread recommending Dennis Kucinich made it to the top.

The unintended consequence may be that DU will tilt back to The Left.
They were at work against this thread, but the majority eventually won out.

[MercutioATC]

7. I agree...but, for chrissakes...stop using the "Rec this!" thing.

:eyes:

[jgraz]

27. Yep. I bet at least some of the unrecs were in protest of the rec whoring.

I violated my own rule and rec'd this thread, just because I can't stand Geithner.

[theoldman]

8. Geithner was selected for his knowledge of where the bodies were buried.

I think he inherited the most difficult job of all. In fact I think it is almost an impossible job considering that both Democrats and Republicans are involved. Geithners biggest flaw is that he is not tough enough. I have always liked Reich but I don't think he would be able to do much better.

[Cant trust em]

10. he absolutely has the toughest and most thankless job

This post in no way endorses or condemns the work he has done.

[bvar22]

15. I disagree.

Geithner's biggest flaw is that he is a toady for Goldman Sachs and Wall Street.
As long as Wall Street Banks are swimming in taxpayer money, Geithner is happy.

[tbyg52]

22. Well, then

let him be adviser to someone *else*.

[invictus]

11. K&R. Geithner should go.

nt

[flyarm]

42. He was "put there" for very specific reasons..reasons they don't want you to know about!!

how about NWO for starters!!

he is Kissingers man..and his family has ties to Obama's mom..therefore Obama all the way back to Indonesia!!

see my post #34

[rollingrock]

13. The fox was put in charge of the henhouse

A guy who failed to pay 35,000 dollars in income taxes for many years is put in charge of the US Treasury? It sounds like a Brownie moment to me.

[flyarm]

39. absolutely..and he was and is Kissinger's man!! and the CFR!!

some freaking change eh?

see my post #34!!!!!!!!

Glad to see some people are finally catching on to this scam on all of us!!

[taught_me_patience]

14. He is the tooliest of the tools

and Obama's biggest mistake. I guarantee that he's working for Goldman Sachs within one month of leaving the Treasury Secretary job. Anybody want to bet with me on this?

[Jakes Progress]

16. Democrats, especially good ones,

seem to have a blind eye when it comes to business. They have the country's interest at heart and mistakenly believe that others they like do to. Hence choices like Geithner and McNamara.

Geithner is exactly the wrong man for the job. He might have made a good second in charge if someone who understood economics and gave a shit about real people were over him. He might know where the bodies are buried, but without a boss to know when he is lying, all he is doing is hiding the shovel.

[flyarm]

38. problem is he was the right man for Kissinger and the new world order boys who wanted him there

and put him there and who are running things as we type!

[PuraVidaDreamin]

17. + 1 Rec

gotta go.

[girl gone mad]

18. "Geithner works for Goldman"

When a former assistant Treas. Sec. (under Reagan, no less) makes that statement on the record, you know it's bad.

[flyarm]

47. NWO..at work ........ eom

[undeterred]

21. Obama's strategy has to change.

If he replaced Geithner he probably wouldn't choose someone any better.

[Sebastian Doyle]

23. Timmy needs to go back to his little hollow tree

and make cookies.

Pretty sure that's him on the left. Also pretty sure it's the first time the word "left" could ever be used in a sentence describing the bastard.

[rollingrock]

49. haha

I always thought he looked like an evil Hobbit.

[LWolf]

25. Geithner and more. nt

[troubledamerican]

26. Who WAS Geithner?

Before NY Fed, before Goldman, who WAS Geithner?

What are his NEOCON roots & connections?

[Hannah Bell]

29. see post 28. not neocon.

[flyarm]

43. see my post #34..lots of answers there!! eom

[Hannah Bell]

28. Geithner's dad = Obama's mom's boss at the Ford Foundation in Indonesia.

Ford Foundation = involved in the 65 coup.

http://www.cia-on-campus.org/internat/indo.html

just sayin'.

[troubledamerican]

30. A lot of people would say Ford Foundation = CIA, no?

Sort of like the NED is a latter day Ford Foundation?

Though this might explain Barack's inexplicable loyalty to Tim Geithner, I still don't know who Tim Geithner is, what his father's politics are/were, or what Geithner's politics are. Should we make presumptions-by-association just because Barack is progressive? Are we projecting onto Geithner? Are we investing in someone who may not be what he seems?

Call me shallow, but during last October, Geithner photographed like a nervous bagman on a tightrope at the moment of The Biggest Heist In World History. Something about Geithner gives me the creeps.

[Skittles]

31. he's doing exactly what Obama expected him to do

[flyarm]

35. exactly! eom

[Canuckistanian]

32. The real problem is that Goldman Sachs has people in every key postition

It's way past time to start an investigation on the influence GS has on every aspect of financial oversight and regulation.

[OwnedByFerrets]

Speaker: James L. Jones


U.S. National Security Adviser Jones ( edit to add: new advisor hired by Obama!!!!) gave these remarks at the 45th Munich Conference on Security Policy at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof on February 8, 2009.

"Thank you for that wonderful tribute to Henry Kissinger yesterday. Congratulations. As the most recent National Security Advisor of the United States, I take my daily orders from Dr. Kissinger, filtered down through General Brent Scowcroft and Sandy Berger, who is also here. We have a chain of command in the National Security Council that exists today.

Now if that doesn't scare the ever loving crap out of you and if you are really a democrat with democratic values it damn well should scare the ever loving crap out of you!!!!!!!!!!
Remember Kissinger worked for NIXON,FORD,REAGAN,GHBUSH AND HE WAS ALMOST DAILY IN GWBUSH'S WHITE HOUSE GIVING ADVICE ON THE IRAQ WAR..

FOR THOSE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO KNOW LITTLE ABOUT KISSINGER..PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO EDCUATE YOURSELF ON HIM..HIS NICKNAME IS.."THE BUTCHER OF CAMBODIA"..JUST FOR STARTERS!!

Geithner..who worked for Kissinger and the CFR

Geithner..who's papa Peter F.Geithner was with the Ford Foundation and Obama's mom just happened to work with him!!

Any wonder why the GM CEO was made to step down..the very day that Ford announced it was opening a plant in Mexico..the znnouncement took place at the Pres of Mexico's palace..and do not miss the very fact that the CEO of Ford said : Mr Mullaly said: "We are convinced the geographic location as well as Mexico's highly qualified labour force and economic stability make this decision the right one for our business."

That would be 4,500 jobs Americans will not get!!

Peter F. Geithner, is the director of the Asia program at the Ford Foundation in New York.

Ford to open new plant in Mexico


US giant Ford is to invest $3bn (£1.5bn) in a new car plant in Mexico, the biggest investment in the country's manufacturing sector.

The move is a blow to American car workers who had hoped the factory would be built in the United States.

Ford has lost more than $15bn (£7.5bn) over the past two years and says the new facility is crucial to its future.

Mexican President Felipe Calderon hailed the announcement as a "turning point" for his country.

The new factory, and other changes to Ford's Mexican operations, are likely to create an estimated 4,500 jobs in Mexico, where car workers earn substantially less than their American counterparts.

Mr Calderon made the announcement with Ford president Alan Mullaly at the presidential compound in Mexico City on Friday. "We want Mexico to be an automotive country, one that is competitive and with the most advantages so that the worldwide automotive industry will establish itself here," Mr Calderon said.

Mr Mullaly said: "We are convinced the geographic location as well as Mexico's highly qualified labour force and economic stability make this decision the right one for our business."

KISSINGER.. who GWBUSH named to run the 9/11 coverup commission..he left the commission after families of 9/11 objected so loudly and angrily. ( thanks to the Jersey girls)

Kissinger's Back...As 9/11 Truth-Seeker posted by David Corn on 11/27/2002 @ 4:19pm

http://www.thenation.com/blogs/capitalgame...


SNIP:
Asking Henry Kissinger to investigate government malfeasance or nonfeasance is akin to asking Slobodan Milosevic to investigate war crimes. Pretty damn akin, since Kissinger has been accused, with cause, of engaging in war crimes of his own. Moreover, he has been a poster-child for the worst excesses of secret government and secret warfare. Yet George W. Bush has named him to head a supposedly independent commission to investigate the nightmarish attacks of September 11, 2001, a commission intended to tell the public what went wrong on and before that day. This is a sick, black-is-white, war-is-peace joke--a cruel insult to the memory of those killed on 9/11 and a screw-you affront to any American who believes the public deserves a full accounting of government actions or lack thereof. It's as if Bush instructed his advisers to come up with the name of the person who literally would be the absolute worst choice for the post and, once they had, said, "sign him up."


SNIP:

Vietnam. Kissinger participated in a GOP plot to undermine the 1968 Paris peace talks in order to assist Richard Nixon's presidential campaign. Once in office, Nixon named Kissinger his national security adviser, and later appointed him secretary of state. As co-architect of Nixon's war in Vietnam, Kissinger oversaw the secret bombing campaign in Cambodia, an arguably illegal operation estimated to have claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians.


SNIP:

Chile. In the early 1970s, Kissinger oversaw the CIA's extensive covert campaign that assisted coup-plotters, some of whom eventually overthrew the democratically-elected government of Salvador Allende and installed the murderous military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. On June 8, 1976, at the height of Pinochet's repression, Kissinger had a meeting with Pinochet and behind closed doors told him that "we are sympathetic to what you are trying to do here," according to minutes of the session (which are quoted in Peter Kornbluh's forthcoming book, The Pinochet File.)

SNIP:

In another lawsuit, filed earlier this month, eleven Chilean human rights victims--including relatives of people murdered after Pinochet's coup--claimed Kissinger knowingly provided practical assistance and encouragement to the Pinochet regime. Kissinger's codefendant in the case is Michael Townley, an American-born Chilean agent who was a leading international terrorist in the mid-1970s. In his most notorious operation, Townley in 1976 planted a car-bomb that killed Orlando Letelier, Allende's ambassador to the United States, and Ronni Moffitt, Letelier's colleague, on Washington's embassy row.



so ask yourself..if Obama is so different..why did he have Kissinger represent his administration in Russia???????????

The very MAN WHO HAS WORKED WITH THE FOLLOWING ADMINSTRATIONS...NIXON, FORD , REAGAN, GH BUSH, AND BUSHY& CHENEY ADMINISTRATION..AND was a constant visitor to the Bush /Cheney WHITE HOUSE and advisor on the Iraq war????????Oh and it wasn't advise to leave Iraq..it was to stay.....for victory..

Posted by flyarm in General Discussion
Fri Apr 03rd 2009, 01:45 PM
See, many of us realize it is in the early days of an Administration , that people are put in place that can be helpful or harmful to the American people's best interests.

If any of us can scratch our memory a bit..it was the people BUSHY PUT IN HIS ADMINISTRATION THAT FAILED THIS NATION ON 9/11..( or did they ..it depends on your prospective on 9/11) They also failed my co-workers and neighbors kids who died on that day. So some of us see it as our duty to protect our nation, to pay attention to Who Obama is hiring..it is a matter of life and death to some of us!!

And if i remember correctly..It was Obama himself that said he would be ready from day one..I will hold him to that!!..Thats my duty and responsibility and obligation as one of those silly.."WE THE PEOPLE'S"..

AND I HAVE SOME VERY SERIOUS QUESTIONS ABOUT WHO OBAMA IS PUTTING INTO PLACE THAT ARE NOW " MY EMPLOYEES " AND GETTING MY TAX DOLLARS as their pay check!!!!!!!!!!!!

LETS SEE WHO Obama is hiring and who he has had representing his administration so far, shall we???????


Kissinger..shortly after Obama took office , KISSINGER WAS SENT TO RUSSIA BY OBAMA TO REPRESENT HIS ADMINISTRATION..

KISSINGER WHO HAS A 40+ YEAR WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ROCKEFELLER'S, AND HAS WORKED EXTENSIVELY FOR THE SAUDI'S

Geithner..who worked for Kissinger and the CFR

Geithner..who's papa Peter F.Geithner was with the Ford Foundation and Obama's mom just happened to work with him!!

Any wonder why the GM CEO was made to step down..the very day that Ford announced it was opening a plant in Mexico..the znnouncement took place at the Pres of Mexico's palace..and do not miss the very fact that the CEO of Ford said : Mr Mullaly said: "We are convinced the geographic location as well as Mexico's highly qualified labour force and economic stability make this decision the right one for our business."

45. keep digging...lots to see about ole Henry!!

Remember Bush appointed Henry to lead the 9/11 commission until the families of 9/11 objected so fiercely because of his work for the House Of Saud and other Saudi ties.

This is the same Henry that hired Geithner..for three years..the same Henry that Obama sent to represent his admin shortly after taking office..the same Henry that now says Obama is doing such a good job..and lays platitudes on ..oh keep digging there is lots to find.

48. i posted extensively about Geithner and got my balls cut off here..

in the early spring..no one wanted to know the damn truth!

52. "If you make people think they are thinking, they will love you.....

If you make people really think they will hate you." (Pascal?)

I would like to ad a line: "At DU if you make people think they will hate you even if they know that is what you are doing".

People just hate to think, they want somebody to do it for them.

Then there is also, IMHO, an extensive Psy-ops program going on here at DU to build chaos. Obama is a tool of Wall Street.

[flyarm]

but I certainly do agree that Geithner shouldn't be there -- as well as many

other corporate-Dems that Obama eloped with!!

55. Geithner, Emmanuel & Holder are the first that have to go. Recommended.

[truedelphi]

56. Geithner and the scumbag horse he rode into town on (Goldman Sachs)

How do you prove yourself a complete failure yet insure that your future will be bright and shiny?

Coddle Goldman Sachs, and nothing in your past will prevent you from occupying the highest economic post in the land.

Remember how Geithner was sent by the IMF to the Far East in the nineties to try and sort out the economic mess there? There were two methods of dealing with the crisis there - and he choose the one that didn't work. Thus, Japan went on to have a much more painful and long lasting recession than they would ahve experienced.

But do not cry for Geithner's future - he will not suffer for this failure...

For in Goldman Sach's America, the fact that you helped destroy a nation's chances for economic recovery don't mean your name will not continue to be part of the game. As long as GS players are on the Obama economic team, GS can be assured that some time in the near future, other game plans resembling the following might once again come to pass:
On September 15, 2008, then New York Fed president, Tim Geithner, pressed for AIG’s biggest counterparty, Goldman Sachs, to help the insurer raise capital after it became clear that AIG was at risk of going bankrupt. And on that same day Goldman’s current CEO, Lloyd Blankfein,
was at the New York Fed. And thus Goldman ended up in receipt of about $12 billion in tax dollars thanks to AIG’s wholesale credit-default swap passing money through to GS after the government bailed out the insurance giant.

So that is why we get Geithner as the Head Man at Treasury. (With some help from Money Party man, Barack Obama.)

[Grinchie]

57. The Fed Brandishes the myth of Indepedent organization.

But they are so far independent that they are working soley for the benefit of the central bankers. Sure, they'll give the politicians all the rope they want to hang themselves with, but they do it with the intent of swooping in and picking at the choice bits when it all collapses.

They are not working for our benefit, and they can never do this because they have gone from a tangible asset backed cheme to a scheme that mandates that our future labor is pledged to pay back what is owed, which is never ending, thanks to Fractional Reserve Monetary System, Interest that is left to magically appear on it's own out of the vacuum, and the ability to finance or deny funds to any branch of science or technology they choose.

If change is a one ounce weight on a scale, Geithner and the Fed represent a 10 pound weight on the other side.

Stop feeding the fraud. Read about Gandhi and learn how to take the power away from the Oligarchs.

59. Is there a "Hate Geithner Clique" here? Jeez. Half of you probably don't even know

why you hate him.

63. I sure do ..I know all about him..my neighbors all have or had seats on the NYSE..

and who said hate?..I hate no one..I just believe he is in place to assure the NWO!! You know he was a protege' of Kissinger..ya know the guy who's nickname is "THE BUTCHER OF CAMBODIA"..iN FACT I JUST HAD DINNER 2 NIGHTS AGO WITH ONE OF MY FORMER NEIGHBORS WHO HAD A SEAT ON THE nyse FOR OVER 40 YEARS.. and we discussed Geithner at length.

Maybe it is you who needs to do some research on the filthy pig!!

Start with Kissinger..then move onto the CFR and the Ford Foundation and his ties with Obama in Indonesia!!

Any questions how I feel about him??

66. In my opinion capitalism is a global distaster ...

socially, economically and environmentally. Geithner's as good a place to begin as any.
