Resign Mr. Geithner

[AllentownJake]

You have been a drag on this administration since day one. You failed as head of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to prevent or warn of the financial crisis and you have failed as Treasury Secretary of representing the citizens of this nation over the Too Big to Fail.

Today's revelation are just an additional slap in the face to the American Public. Resign and take your job at Goldman.

[Autumn]

1. Resign, my ass, that

dirty SOB needs to be fired.

[Dr.Phool]

8. Indicted.

[Autumn]

14. That too,

he would look good in prison. But that's not going to happen.

[rfranklin]

2. He did exactly what was required of him by Goldman Sachs...

Pump it up, let it explode, do it again...

[rudy23]

3. One problem--who outranks him?

That's a serious question.

[bullwinkle428]

4. Thom Hartmann and Stephanie Miller both mentioned rumors of Dodd

replacing Geithner as TS...don't know how much truth there is to that.

[AllentownJake]

5. Not till 2011

CT has a GOP Governor.

[bullwinkle428]

11. SHIT...forgot about that!

:mad:

[FLAprogressive]

15. Why would we want Corporate Chris Dodd in?

[AllentownJake]

17. Dodd would actually be a slight improvement

He had a soul once and he has something to prove.

[Sebastian Doyle]

6. Should have been a dentist, Timmy

Wasn't that your original plan?

[Romulox]

7. Dude was a tax cheat + a failure from day one. What difference do the new revelations make?

:shrug:

[AllentownJake]

10. True

If the President continues with this scumbag now, there is no plausible deniability for his bad behavior.

[Prism]

9. Indict him. This is money laundering, pure and simple

The use of AIG to cover the losses of banks like Goldman Sachs while lying about it to the American people is nothing less than politically criminal - and the directive towards secrecy may be actually criminal. This administration has now gone from passive bystander to active collusion with Wall Street.

[Nikki Stone1]

27. Exactly

.

[ima_sinnic]

12. the protests against him did no good when he was appointed, so why should it do any good now?

how soon before we hear "heckuva job, Timmy" ?

[fascisthunter]

13. he should be in prison, forget resign

be careful for what you wish for, the person appointed to take over could be much worse.

[AllentownJake]

16. Bob Rubin?

I'd be making calls for Casey and Specter to block his appointment.

[fascisthunter]

20. I Just have no trust for those in control

I'm afraid who ever the person is will be just as a bad or even worse. This admin has no desire to rep the people.

[AllentownJake]

21. They could always make a mistake lol nt.

[fascisthunter]

22. Lol, I was thinking the same thing

[mmonk]

23. Me too.

[MissDeeds]

18. Obama should fire him

Don't wait for Geithner to do the right thing; it won't happen.

[AllentownJake]

19. Publicly and sell pay per view tickets

I'd pay 24.95 for that special.

[G_j]

24. K&R

[TicketyBoo]

25. Geithner's nomination

was my first disappointment in the administration.

I figured the guy was either too dumb (doubtful) or too crooked (likely) to pay his income taxes, and, either way, he didn't belong in a position of public trust.

This news is just confirmation of what I suspected, and what President Obama should have known.

Geithner stinks like week-old fish, and he's getting smellier all the time.

[Nikki Stone1]

26. K & R

.

[saracat]

28. And to think he was actively courted for this job! Boggles the mind.

[WT Fuheck]

29. the whole damned economic team (except Solis, if you count her)

needs to go.
