Barney Frank Would Appreicate It If Tim Geithner Would Move His Ass On Hiring People

So far, nearly four months after the Obama administration took power, the Treasury Department is still without a deputy secretary. Two undersecretary positions — including the vital post overseeing domestic finance — have not been filled and many other division heads have not been named. The White House vetting of potential candidates has proven arduous, and nearly all of those individuals nominated have yet to win Senate confirmation and fill out Geithner’s team.
“I’ve seen the effect of this, and I wish he would move quicker to put in his own people,” said Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), chairman of the House Financial Services Committee.

“Alternatively, please, by all means, move at a glacial pace,” Frank told T. Geith with his trademark snark and knack for quoting Anne Hathaway movies.

    If Geithner moved his office to a rock quarry he might be a little bolder.

    Mr. Frank needs to lay off. Most of the positions are those that require Senate confirmation and that is Mr. Obama’s responsibility to fill those positions. Then those people fill the positions under them.
    Mr. Geithner is tending to all things at Treasury and needs his staff confirmed. Why is it that no one is criticizing Mr. Obama for not being more forceful regarding his nominations and moving faster with placing nominees in consideration for other positions?
    This is more Mr. Obama’s problem than Mr. Geithner’s.

    Barney should relly, relly take Senator Chuck Grassley’s advice: “Apoligize to the American People and COMMIT SUICIDE!”
    I can think of no politican who could do a greater service except maybe Nancy Pelosi. The US would be a much better place without both of them.
