The President said last week that Tim Geithner's been doing a heckuva job and that everyone needs to just back the shit off but for the skeptics out there who thought the endorsement was a harbinger of a firing to come, how wrong you are. Obama is never ever letting Geithner go, no matter how badly the Treasury Secretary begs and pleads.

@2- neither geithner, nor Obama are members of congress. take your batshit insanity (the multiple question marks were a dead giveaway) elsewhere.

@3, 2 here, why dont you go back to shining shoes. You are probably some back office piker

@4- nice that they let you have an hour's worth of internet time while you're at the insane asylum.

Apparently even back office pikers know enough not to post the text of chain email you got from your Aunt Silvia.

@3, I think 2 was alluding to the fact that our elected officials are morons, much like yourself.

Obama is selling all the Intrade contracts he can find. That way he will not fire TimG til after the contracts expire, bringing the US out of this recession and making a tidy profit for himself.

I don't know how you guys can sit idly by while congress runs slipshod all over us... after reading #2's comments I spilled a mochiatto on my legs

Hmmm where have i seen a Sec take the fall for the President while the country is up in arms over a major crises? Hint is begins With Donald and ends with RUMSFELD. Why isn the press grilling this guy the way they did Rummy?
Bush was taking Dem handgranades for Rummy by the and eventually Rummy said, I have a fucking ranch in MT fuck you. I am outta here." Timmy is coming home to run the soccer team in Larchmont real soon. Not so funny thing is, this isnt exactly "change" we can beleive in is it?
