Yup, it's sad--every four years, it's the same, seems like I always end up doing a lot of eye rolling sooner or later with the confirmation hearings. It's not enough to keep Geithner from being confirmed, though, which I suppose is the important thing.
...but typical...seems like all of Obamas picks are people who couldnt get security clearance to work at Taco Bell..yet he still persists..
Since the vast majority have held or currently do hold national security clearances, your comments seems sort of... well stupid, for lack of a better word.

Oh no, not hiring an old college pal! Well that does it, by gum. The nerve, hiring someone he knows and trusts. If he isn't willing to hire a stranger who answered an ad in Craig's List, I say it's time to tar and feather him.

I've read this much, and I don't know the full truth of either issue. But I know that if arctichomesteader and ELO are jumping up and down about it, you'd do well to ignore it.
Anyway, which "old college pal" would that be, certainly not Dartmouth, John Hopkins grad Geithner?
LOL, or it could be Michelle.... haven't you heard Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell accidentally announced she was a candidate for undersecretary of defense? Sounds like cronyism to me...
