#1 democrats have controlled this country for 3 years.

Bush did not design freddie mac or fannie mae. He did not raise minimum wage, he did not refuse to drill for oil, he did not spend 12 trillion dollars on acorns, he did not over regulate all industries in the spectrum, he did not set the mark to market dictates, he did not push sharia loans, he did not believe in government over everything approach you imbicile ideologues do.

You are useless timmy. Where is Vollicker?

#2 "Geithner now looks to many serious observers like a mug."
He's in over his head and essentially he's just a bright Dartmouth senior in a good suit. He doesnt have any real insight. And his stuff is shallow blah-blah, goes with the flow, and the Market tanks the next day when he opens his mouth. He WILL cave when he is pushed.

And he wont survive. Neither will the next guy either, but that's beside the point. Unemployment is going to get higher and if the US was a military Division in Combat at this point 10% casualties means every squad in the Platoon has taken two KIA.

He's no thinker. He's just waiting for the bus.

Its not going to get better, puppies. Its gonna get worse. Do you like to garden? Do you own a gun?

#3 Time to put chains on the bus tires, there's way too much raspberry jam accumulating under the bus. Don't want the thing to start sliding and hurt somebody.

#4 He was positively lackluster as head of the NY Fed. He brought nothing to the table of his current job in terms of ability (not connections) that hundreds of others couldn't have also. He should never have gotten his current position. He should go and whomever decided to give him that job should go also.

#5 He should never have gotten his current position. He should go and whomever decided to give him that job should go also. Hear, hear.
