Did you know that Geitner's job at the New York
 

branch of the federal bank from 2003 to 2006 was keeping tabs on the money that was flowing through the mortgage market? Yes he was in charge of overseeing the current mess come to fruition. Thats why when O'Bama (insert shamrock) said he had integrel knowledge of the banking system and its flaws. What O'Bama means is that he is giving him another chance to screw up even worse than he has allready. We are so screwed. I can't think of anything optimistic to say about the stimulus bill.

In his prior role, Geitnher was critical to the decision not to bail out Lehman Brothers, which most agree was a major mistake and led to a number of downstream effects.

JohnnyD - this is FACT, please check it out

Now, how exactly is this "CHANGE"?

Oh, I know, if we move the same people around to other jobs, that's change!

Because a lot of us are going to be begging for it in a year or 2... as in 'got any change brotha?'

LOL Nebe, :D. Sad though.

Ya the only change will be the few nickles ,dimes and quarters you have in your pocket.

Geitner, so brilliant he doesn't know how to use Turbo Tax.

If he's such a rube why did he receive so much bi-partisan support? Hell, the Senate Republians were falling all over the nomination.
