CPAC: Romney Struggles to Convince Voters 
Obama Backs Off Birth Control Battle?
What’s the matter can’t they find enough tax cheats to serve under Geithner????? I’m sure they just aren’t looking hard enough….

Jake- with all the bailouts going on, do you know where Geithner and the Obamas have their investments?
Posted by: MayBee | February 27, 2009, 10:05 am 10:05 am
With Volker using words like “shameful” for the lack of appointees, it appears like Geithner and Obama are purposefully not appointing additional help in the Treasury Dept to avoid prying eyes and to better control who knows what is going on in the department while trillions of dollars will be getting passed out… Clear as mud.

We must be running out of crooks to serve this administration… thats a good thing.

What’s wrong with you people? Doesn’t Mr. Geithner inspire you with confidence?

Easy, employ Ron Paul.

Jake complains when Obama hires former lobbyists/ bankers &. When he doesn’t.

Since Geithner no longer has a clue what to do, anyone who goes in there instantly knows more than he does and would be given responsibility for the financial “fix”! All the truly smart people are staying way, way away from this one!

You need to look at the broader picture, not just the small details, numbers. The ratio of one confirmation to PB0′s previous accomplishments is still infinite:
1/0 = infinity
Therefore, our Greatest Smartest Clueless Leader is already infinitely better than his pre-pbo days.

Sorry, but your math lacks fundamental logic.

BTW, while Frank, Dodd, etal, criticize bank expenditures like bonuses and sponsoring sporting events, any chance they will allow the political contributions they received to be clawed back?
Talk about money for nothin’

I’m sure the Treasury Secretary knows more tax cheats they can hire.

One (or any other number) divided by zero is infinity, Kat. Ask a math teacher.

Peach- At the very least, Geithner could call on Jim Johnson to do some vetting for him.

Accomplished more in 30 days than any other president–but had the worst transition and still can’t fill his cabinet.
Why would any sane/competent person(as opposed to kool-aid drinkers) want to sign on to that trainwreck economic plan?

Obama said Geithner was the only man that could do the job–so what’s the problem?

That’s why we love the real one.
PB0 needs to make another good speech to convince his followers that “Any number divided by zero is zero.”
Yes, He Can.

But there’s no, nada, zero, zilch need for convincing on that.

I’d like to see Michelle advocate against the definition of “wealthy” as $250,000. While on the campaign trail she empathized with families paying for ballet lessons, etc.

Fellow democrats, like Obama’s call, this is your call to duty. Please donate your intelligence and intellect to help society’s charitable cause. We have given the regulars an ‘A’ in sarcasm (Rush 101), but we can’t, in all fairness, graduate them into society (Human 300). We really need to help them. Really. Much patience is required, but please do your civic duty to help pull your misguided brethren up. Thank you in advance. :-)

Once again, this clearly demonstrates the lack of qualified and talented candidates within the Democratic Party.

“The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 119.15 points, or 1.7%, to end at 7062.93. The blue-chip benchmark ended down 937.93 points, or 11.72% on the month — the worst percentage drop since 1933, when it fell 15.62%.”
It’s happening on the Messiah’s watch…

“Any number divided by zero is zero.”
Real One, it is a little bit painful for the rest of us to watch you insisting on making a fool of yourself on this subject. I implore you–call your high school math teacher (or any math teacher) and get yourself a little education.
Perhaps you could get a grant of some kind from the Obama administration to educate yourself a bit.
