You have to go look yourself. I had to scroll up to make sure I was on the right website. I think the DUmmies are finally starting to get a clue that they are doomed.

85. No one at the table makes sense...
 The table seems to be a table that simply doesn't represent the interests of the American people.

Sounds dismissive of him but I will say it nonetheless - Barack Obama means well but he apparently doesn't understand that those who were invited to the table, starting with "Rahmbo" who seems to have been behind many of the invitations to the table, do not mean well.

Geithner should have been withdrawn at the point he did not withdraw on his own as a result of not only his having evaded taxes but his "defense" of having evaded taxes. He was and is the last person we need as Secretary of the Treasury. And his appointment of a lobbyist for Wall Street only underscores that reality.

Geithner will serve himself and his own. Not the American people. And we have already had a taste of his own with the revelation that taxpayer money was used to pay $18 billion in bonuses on Wall Street.

To believe otherwise is to foolishly believe again in "trickle down economics" and quite a few Republicans will tell you what "trickled down" once before and they are the Republicans who voted for Democrats in 2008.

37. Ah yes, more of that "change we can believe in" 
 Yep, we're simply changing from the bad cop to the good cop, but it's still the same ol' same ol' two party/same corporate master system of government.

Oh, and for those of you who are doubting this news because it comes from Politico, here's a much more mainstream link

Ooo, bonus, Patterson may have directly lobbied Geithner himself. Better and better

Yup, change indeed.

Well Said :cheersmate:
They idolized him till he won and now he can't do anything to make them happy. It almost makes me believe in karma. Any way, Obama is interested in hiring people whom he believes to be competent and will make him look good.  Kos and the dummies and move on don't matter any more.

I think there is one fact about Obama that most lefties miss; the guy is utterly ruthless. Hillary 'the more worthy democrat' Clinton understands this and respects Obama for it.

But I thought President Mocha was suppose to be the most intelligent man on Earth.  How can he not understand something the Little Goons understand?

a spark of reality has flickered in their dark minds. Too bad it won't stay lit for long or get brighter. The dark and the stupid is just too dense, it could never last long. Daschole also has back taxes unpaid, much more than Geithner BTW. He will still be confirmed. of course. Just too bad they cannot open their minds to the fact that the people they elected are not looking to help them.
