Why is it so hard for Obama to find a Treasury Secretary ?

Geithner got off the hook easy, but if it was you or me, we would have to pay a penalty or even go to jail. For someone who wants to spread the wealth, it looks like it's just talk. His party want to spread the wealth, but just not theirs.

    Speak for yourself. I am not a loser who gets in trouble. I would not have to pay a penalty or go to jail for anything ever. I don't punish people nor do I get punsished. You act like you have never done anything wrong in your life. I have & I just aim again & get it right. Sin in as old archery term meaning missing the mark. If the republicans have a person capabile enough to be Treasury Secretary then who is this person? I hear you all whine about everything but never do anything about anything. Even the bail outs that you all brought on are now having to be cleaned up by dems....You have Sen. Grassley who is talking about people commiting suicide & sucking the tit of the tax payer. They are his words not mine. What do any of the republcians do at all.

    Obama is repaying Geithner for securing donors bonuses and Geithner is both in danger and safe for this reason.

    Do you think he got picked for his brains?

    Is politics apart of every choice?

    Are we in a new pay to change system?

    If you cannot figure out how to do your taxes properly, how can you run the largest economy in the world?

    Tim "Turbo tax" Geithner is the moron who set up the AIG bailout. Obama should fire him instead of demonizing the AIG executives and using populism to hide his raping of the american taxpayers.

    If I was his adviser I would advise him to appoint Noam Chomsky as the Treasury Secretary. That way, America would be a better place.

    Good question, I have no idea about the treasury though, I can't even help my 9 year old with his math homework. I could use some money if that helps.

    It's hard for B O to fill a position because there are so many tax dodgers in his party , even though Joe Biden said " Its patriotic to pay more taxes ". I guess it's self explanitory .
