Timothy Geithner: Obama's Teflon Treasury Secretary

Back to blog

Overturn the tables!

Just like Jesus came in and overturned the money changers in his temple, so should it happen to these financial criminals so transfixed on their own greed and gain that the world could end tomorrow and they would gladly go, clutching their gold trinkets in hand! Houston, we have a problem!

Americans must wake up from the media kaleidoscope, be you Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, etc. We all live and have a stake here. We are all Americans and our Constution, Bill of Rights and Civil Rights is the best we got in this world folks!

Take them back!

The Federal Reserve System and the men who dominate it are the problem

The Federal Reserve System was a staged plan( by the international elitists back before 1913), just before the Federal Reserve System was enacted to take over the finances of the United States of America. They new that over a relative short time they could manipulate and dominate the finances of America and they have ever since those short decades after its enactment. The banking elite of Europe(mainly the Rothschild family, which today their wealth is estimated at 100 trillion dollars, most of it hidden secretly from the world) The Rockefeller family is also very rich(wealth estimated around 10 to 11 trillion dollars, hidden secretly, just as the Rothschilds wealth) Paul Warburg and Senator Nelson were the key men who seen that the Federal Reserve Act was passed. Vice President Nelson Rockefeller was named after this Senator. President Andrew Jackson new all about these men and did his best to see that they didn't get this system passed on to America. He stalled them off for a short time and they tried to kill him a few times, but were unsuccessfull. Andrew Jackson was a staunch supporter of constitutional money(which is gold and silver backed)and fought these men tooth and nail to hold them off, but they finally succeeded in getting their wishes accomplished and the rest is history and that is why this country is in such a financial crisis today and is more that likely going to cause America's financial system to collapse, seperate, and lose it's superpower status it has enjoyed for so long. These elitists want to destroy middle class America and form a world government. Wake up people, both parties are controled by these crooks. It was stated years ago that if you control both horses in a two horse race you don't lose.

Treasury Secretary Nominee's Taxes

As lifelong Democrats, my wife and I are outraged that a man who failed to pay $30K in taxes is the nominee for U.S. Treasury Secretary. This is simply unacceptable. Timothy Geithner must withdraw his name from consideration. We need an end to corruption in Washington.

Jim of AR @ Jan 14, 2009 14:08:39 PM

A person asked, who if not Geithner. How about Rommney Succesful business man, rescuer of the Olympics, someone who understand politics and operated in a crisis situation.

What BULLSHI!!

Gee lets give Obamma the benefit of doubt ... ReAppoint a man who basically stood aside while the financial institutions exploded due to greed & lobbying ... yet BUSH gets crucified for doing what the UNITED NATIONS Would Not do ... enforce its ultimatums.

Complete BULLSHIT. Obama's change is reappoint the Clintons & their teems .. he is forgetting that the computer revolutions pumped up the economy.. NOT the clintons.

Reasonable expectations?

Obama and Geithner haven't even officially begun their positions and they are already being blamed for not fixing the economy? Geithner has been in his post since 2003 and somehow he is responsible for the further disintegration of the economy? I admit that maybe we are naively looking for a saviour or a hero, but that is a reflection of our collective desire to be rescued. There is nothing wrong with being optimistic and hopeful that Mr. Geithner may offer us the leadership we need in this time of crisis. Leaders do not "fix" things, they guide us through the unknown. Blaming them already is uncalled for.

we may be broke.

it seems to me, that the country is at a time where MARXISM is ripe to apply to all. at least about a 3rd. But with the media the current congrees to be, lack of leadership of both parties, it will just sound like a better system to apply for all. there are just to many voting themselves hand outs. there is just one question you must ask yourself.

We may be broke, but are we broken?
