1. Hiding info from the american people about how their tax money is being spent?
Not a good idea, Geithner. :grr:

Wow. And this is what they call hope and change?!

11. Geithner will kill this Presidency
if Obama doesn't get rid of him, and soon.

It really couldn't be more blatant that Geithner is working for the crooks on Wall Street, not for the people on Main Street (to overuse a completely hackneyed cliche).

13. I agree, yet there are people here on DU that don't want Geithner to go.
What is that all about??? :wtf:

Check out this poll about whether or not to Fire Geithner-the last answer is supposed to be the closest answer to "No":

15. Geithner used to be a Republican
and in this case, he looks like an example of the proverbial leopard not being able to change its spots

Edited on Tue Mar-24-09 11:46 AM by ww2player
The Taxpayers should stop wasting thier money by giving it to the Government. Opps.. They will lock you up though.

This insane spending to bail out crooks who created the mess to begin with is beyond asinine!! Vote the Clucking Worthless POS Politicians outta office. It is the only hope for the future of this country!!

12. Geithner is also aware that Paulson and Bernanke have set it
Edited on Tue Mar-24-09 10:54 PM by truedelphi
Up so that there are no regulations, not now, not ever, regarding the Credit Default Swaps.

We have a situation wherein the cows and horses left the barn, and now, at taxpayer expense, we have new cows and horses, but No Body anywhere, has shut the barn door yet!
