What in world could be more illustrative of the worthless Presidency to come then that of a man whose own judgment and wisdom would allow him to hire a tax cheat to run the Department of Treasury?

Is there a more damning example of the worthless Administration about to be foisted onto the American people?

If so, please share! I'm sure there are plenty of insights. This one though, in my view, is Foresight 20/20.

What's your favorite Obama action that foreshadowed the crappy Administration that we have today?
There's this thing you should do when you start a thread called explaining to people what the heck you're talking about. Given that there's no context to your thread and you don't even mention who you're talking about and how he's a tax cheat it's rather hard for anyone to have a real opinion.

Should you be talking about Geithner, you're sort of forgetting to mention that he was tapped to get his role regardless of whether Obama or McCain won, was approved overwhelmingly in the Senate and plenty of Republicans voted yea.

It really has nothing to do with Obama except that you don't like Obama if that is really what you're talking about.

i knew what obama was about the minute he started talking about "economic and social justice" back in 2007. i knew then he would be a horrible president, and he didnt disappoint me.
I'm happy that you're not disappointed. Means he did something right....not to mention keeping Romney and McCain out of the White House. That in and of itself is Mt. Rushmore material.

It does have a lot to do with Obama but yes, no matter who won Geithner was the one who was going to get the job. Wasn't Obama suppose to be the guy who wasn't going to do things like this?

The "left" would have been incredibly upset if President McCain had appointed him though.

If you have no idea who it is that Obama hired to run the Treasury, then I'd recommend you find another forum to fumble around in. Politics certainly doesn't appear to be your forte.

He was expected at the time to get through confirmation either way. The "left" is not nearly as obstructionist as the right in this country right now. I'd be careful of living in that glass house. There's only one party to whom compromise is a bad word right now.

Incidentally, "things like this?" in terms of what? What are you talking about?

Of course, the OP still hasn't mentioned who we're talking about at this point so the whole thread is conjecture.

Given you can't name anyone I doubt that know either way and you do know he's hired more than one, so how is anyone supposed to know what you're talking about?

That's part of the problem. They should have loudly spoke up when Geithner was nominated.

Barack Obama spent the entirety of his campaign railing against Wall Street and Bush cronyism. Then he comes along and hires tax cheat and Wall Street extraordinaire Tim Geithner. If you can't put two and two together, perhaps you should just admit you're not capable of railing against this President and call it a day. Right now your obtusity and obfuscation is just embarrassing.
