Obama’s Treasury Secretary screws up

You know it’s getting bad when even prominent Democrats found Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner’s big announcement yesterday on the administration’s financial sector bailout “plan” lacking in important details. They weren’t the only ones, either. Wall Street let the Obama administration know it wasn’t pleased, either.

And Mr. TurboTax was supposed to be “The One We Must Have” for Treasury Secretary, in spite of the serious questions regarding his tax issues that some Democrats – including Obama spox Robert Gibbs – characterized as “honest mistakes“?

Would someone wake me up please when the “most brilliant people ever assembled in Washington, DC” finally start acting like it?

Don’t forget, they even laughed at him at the presentation, Republicans and Democrats. And he hasn’t been on the job a month.

Time to send in the clowns. They can only be an improvement.

I’ll check the internet to see if anyone’s selling an alarm clock that you can set for noon on 1/20/2013…

This guy can’t figure out how to use Turbotax so why should we expect his fictitious plan to have any details. Let’s call his so-called plan what it really is – it is no more than an intention. He wouldn’t know a detail if it hit him in the buttocks.

Why are people acting surprised? Look at the behavior of our new President since he took office: more town meetings, more childish behavior [. . .because I won the election!], scare tactics, and lots of celebrations and gala events. He has been selling an interesting “bill of goods” for over two years—and no one thought it was important to really investigate the types of people he surrounded himself with. Does anyone believe he really is the Messiah?
