"Wakey, wakey."

[bbgrunt]

1. fire. indict. fight. k and r

[David Sky]

2. I used to like Carville, (and used to love Obama), but now Carville is just

trying to get noticed, and Obama is mistaken in some of his decisions, (due to poor advice? maybe, but he never has to follow poor advice, does he?)

I have to say, Obama needs some OTHER advice, but firing people only makes him look less competent.

Sort of like Carville is less competent.

[unapatriciated]

9. I hope he does get noticed...

by Obama

Because he is right

[RoccoRyg]

3. If he goes down in 2012

It'll be his own fault.

[izquierdista]

4. The message doesn't need to "get through"

Obama is doing exactly what he planned to do all along -- whatever Wall Street wants as conveyed to him by their bag man, Bill Daley.

[Little Star]

8. I agree that he is doing exactly as planned. n/t

[dtexdem]

5. Or panic and decide not to run again.

The Dems could do better.

6. Eloquent response, Cenk.

thank you

k&r

:kick:

7. if Obama replaces Geithner w/ the demonic Jamie Dimon & at least 40-50% of Dems dont flat out revolt

and brutally turn on him in all possible non-violent forms, the US is a walking corpse.

Bet it.

[unblock]

10. why on earth would dimon give up his $$$$$ day job for a cabinet spot?

a post like governor, president, or mayor of a MAJOR city, yes, rich ceos will go for that.
occassionally senator.

but a cabinet spot where you have to take orders and take flak and defend someone else's decisions?

not gonna happen.

[Enrique]

13. have to take orders?

Sept. 16 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner ignored an order in 2009 from President Barack Obama to prepare a plan to "wind down" Citigroup Inc., once the biggest bank in the world, according to a book to be released next week.

Geithner didn't proceed with Obama's order to develop a plan to dissolve New York-based Citigroup in March 2009, several months after the bank had received a $45 billion taxpayer bailout, according to "Confidence Men: Wall Street, Washington and the Education of a President" by Ron Suskind, a former Wall Street Journal reporter. Bloomberg News obtained a copy of the book's manuscript. The book, published by New York-based HarperCollins, is to be released Sept. 20.

Citigroup, led by Chief Executive Officer Vikram Pandit, posted $29.3 billion in combined losses for 2008 and 2009, much of them tied to subprime mortgages. U.S. taxpayers also guaranteed more than $300 billion of the lender's riskiest assets to prop up the company as it neared collapse. Obama wanted to consider restructuring the bank while Geithner would also proceed with stress tests of the country's lenders, according to the book.

Geithner didn't recall Obama getting angry at him for not implementing the order and said that he didn't "slow walk the president on anything," according to the book.

15. ask the equally wicked Hank Paulson, John Snow, Paul O'Neill, Robert Rubin, or the myriad

other CEO's and/or bankers who put in time serving in public capacities to ensure the systemic controllers' tentacles remain locked on the US corporatist system.

The orders a US Secretary of Treasury 'takes' come from a couple pay grades above a POTUS.

11. While I don't disagree

It's a little ironic coming from Carville, given that Clinton was the king of triangulation and co-opting Republican positions; but then again he also had a crazy billionaire get 19% of the vote.

14. Cenk needs to get onto planet Earth, and so does Snake Head Carville.

First, if Obama suddenly went on a firing spree in ultra panic mode he would look like a national laughing stock and the right would be all over him like stink on shit as "a desperate incompetent joke panicking and acting like he's nuts trying to save a sinking ship." It would be a GIFT to both corporate "MSM" media and especially Limpballs and Co. It would be a ridiculous spectacle and would cause far more harm than good. It's an ignorant idea. "TELEGRAPH TO THE WHOLE WORLD YOU ARE IN ULTRA PANIC MODE." Yah, real bright. The RePUKE candidates would have a fucking field day with that.

Next, SHAME on Cenk-the-purist for bashing the jobs bill. He is STUPID for doing so. What crazy purist shit. Obama, again, would look STUPID had he tried to propose something that would have been impossible on its face to get through the current Congress. He is trapping the Pukes with a realistic proposal that should objectively pass a divided Congress which he knows they will still oppose and which he is therefore taking NATIONAL and making the Pukes look like radical idiots that would rather play politics than create jobs.

Third, Obama is IN FACT using the bully pulpit just as the professional left has been clammering for, and STILL Cenk and Co. aren't happy. Obama has been spanking the Pukes pretty hard in these firey and rousing speeches, urging the people to call their Congress members, and changing the discussion in Washington to jobs jobs jobs just as they've been screaming for. And, again, they purists still aren't happy.

This is more of Cenk's purist shit. He is an ultra left purist outside reality.

PS: I like generally like Carville, but he's been so busy banging his right wing spouse and being a talking head on tv that he hasn't really been involved in a real campaign since '92. He's stale.

[stockholmer]

16. so to be 'reality based' and not a 'purist' means to adopt a full-on corporatist-based agenda?

The 'jobs' bill will be ineffectual at best, and have massively bad consequences (ie further strip-ming Social Security, et al).
