Geithner’s Crisis Sleepwalk Is Reason He Must Go: Kevin Hassett Commentary by Kevin Hassett Nov. 23 (Bloomberg) -- If Timothy Geithner were a Broadway show, the producers would shut it down. Treasury secretaries get attacked all the time and have to take it with aplomb. It’s in the job description. The criticism serves a purpose: A secretary who can withstand the withering attacks of congressmen...
Pretty funny: "Will Geithner insist on staying or will he go peacefully, was the question put before Geithner by some enraged Republicans on the Joint Economic Committee of Congress, led by Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas). It was a Lone Star blitz, with fellow Texas congressman Michael Burgess (R-Texas) going so far as to say that the issue was not if Geithner should be fired, but just how someone...

Last week, in a meeting of the Joint Economic Committee, Republican Kevin Brady (Texas) asked Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithner, if he would resign "for the sake of our jobs." Michael Burgess (R-Texas) told Geithner, face-to-face, "I don't think you should fired, I think you should have never been hired." And in a television interview, Democrat Peter DeFazio (Oregon) said America...

Congressman Michael Burgess scalded Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner during a fiery hearing on Capitol Hill this morning, telling the former New York Fed chief that he should never have been hired and demanding that the TARP program come to an abrupt end, shortly after GOP Rep. Kevin Brady had called on Geithner to resign. “The public has lost all confidence in your ability to do the job,”...
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner appeared before the Joint Economic Committee today. One striking feature of Geithner's testimony was how partisan it was. In keeping with the Obama administration's mantra, he repeatedly tried to cast blame on the Bush administration while failing to acknowledge that when the financial crisis developed, he was the head of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and as...
During Tim Geithner's somewhat contentious appearance before Congress today, some Republicans took every opportunity to get their shots in. Congressman Michael Burgess (Asshat-TX), was no exception. He got his sound bite in -- "I don't think you should be fired, I think you never should have been hired," or something to that effect. Whatever, he's entitled to his opinions, but not his own...

Please note, I did NOT write these titles for the videos - they are from the youtube user. I have never seen Geithner so agitated... I almost felt sorry for him. Almost. Then I remembered who was the head of the New York Fed the past few years. Frankly it sounds...

It needs to be better communicated that the Bush administration and republican leadership caused MOST of the problems that Obama is dealing with. They want to destroy the economy and fix it. Ha! Republicans have a lot of gall and short memories. That's why Obama needs to keep reminding everyone that it was under republican watch that our economy melted down. Of course, everyone on both the left and...
