If geitner releases that money to broad daylight, what florida sandy is saying is absolute truth. For now it appears its a bluff, an electronic promise, and the printing presses haven't be rolling on overtime. We'll see.

you seem to think that rewarding bad behavior with giant bonuses is okay, but i don't.

there has been a moral hazard created in this country with the bailouts and the casual printing of money to cover losses. in case you haven't noticed, we are still in a period of unrest and it is accelerating globally.

it will be interesting to see what iceland and greece choose to do about their "situations". it should be noted for the record for geithner worked for the IMF from 2001 to 2004, and that will help puts things in perspective.

Jon Stewart is a comedian...and an alien. Who cares what he thinks about anything?

Complete nonsense once again.

Republicans have been repeating lies so often they actually believe most of them.

Obama completely owned them.

They grossly underestimated him.

The point wasn't what Stewart thinks, but rather the can of whoop ass Obama opened on the republicants.

Although it is pretty funny that Stewart is relegated to the status of a comedian again.

A few weeks ago he was an ICON to the republicans when he spoke out against Obama.

Funny how those things change so quickly?

Foxnews is very good cutting the most important words Ron Paul said in the republican debate and made them look like idiots (foxnews). On the reply they cut that part out and showed everything else. PS no bad words just should them all the Bush policy of borrowing 10 billion from Communist China, giving it to a miltary dictator in pakistain who over thru a elected government so we can promote freedom in Iraq.
Made most of the people in the republican party start to actual think who was conservative and had some common sense about the war. They questioned the Ron Paul didnt belong on the stage with the other republicans running and wasnt electable.

Actually when Obama televises his now-closed door meetings with Dems and the labor unions Stewart might have an issue. But don't hold your breath.

I actually have empathy for some conservative principles, but man, that party is completely lost. Not a single Republican anywhere in Congress that is even in the same intellectual vicinity as Obama.

It's tough out there for an adult, serious conservative, one imagines.
Ah, yes. The Scolder-in-Chief. You'll notice he scolds and lectures everyone--including other heads of state--because he is sooooooooo brilliant.

They got off easy with scolder in chief.
Next time he's bringing a switch, then you'll see real humiliation.
