#1 More un-change. The New York Fed gave AIG something like $25 billion on top of what the Fed gave them.

Liberal and conservative economists? This ass-hat won't even pretend that he doesn't view economics as politics.

#2 Tim Geithner speaks fluent Chinese. He received his economics training and experience at Kissenger and Associates. Next question please.

#3 The donks are evidently calling for "W" to resign so The One can jump into action. Here's an idea....

Democracy in Action: "W" resigns and Dick Cheney becomes President (that would really tick off the libs)!!! Then he appoints Condoleeza Rice as VP. Then Cheney resigns two weeks later and Condoleeza Rice, A Republican,
becomes... the first "BLACK - WOMAN" President!!! ***Check Mate.

#8 With the Treasury Secretary on his spending spree he surely isnt trying to get a good return on the tax payers investment. The bailout was to buy up bad mortgage debt but it never did. What is the purpose of the fund? Paulsons has warrants on many banks and they average 1 3 percent when enacted. Yet the cash investment is about 20 percent of the market cap. Maybe the next Treasury Secretary will be less erratic.

#9 Has there been any comment in RB about the fact that appointing Hillary SoS is probably unconstitutional?

Seems that there is this little clause about congress critters not being allowed to take a position whose salary has been increased while said critter was in congress. This fits Her Thighness.

Isn't Zero supposed to be some sort of Constitutional Scholar?

#10 Is it just me? Obama has gone from creating 2.5 mil new jobs to creating and saving 2.5 mil jobs.

And nobody is calling him on it!
