Neil Patrick Harris is a hell of a lot hotter than “Skippy” Geithner!

Leona Helmsley was right…

“We don’t pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes.”

“Where is the money coming from, Mr. Secretary?”

“Blah blah blah”

“Mr. Secretary, my question was, where is the money coming from?”

“I repeat, blah blah blah.”

I got the impression he had practiced what he was going to say, including hand gestures, in front of a mirror and wasn’t going to be distracted by actually answering the questions. Why couldn’t he just answer? I’m so afraid it’s because he doesn’t have a clue where the financing will come from, but if he were sure China would put up more, he would have said so.

I tried to tell another regular here, only the middle class and the stupid pay taxes. The uber wealthy sometimes make money off of these supposed non profits. I’m gonna go eat my cake now.

I would just say this shows you what a sleazebag cheapskate Rahm Emmanuel is-where there is a loophole, he will jump through it. Nothing to do with Chicago politics.

Yes, I wanted Sheila Bair also. Heaven forfend we hire someone who knows what they are doing – regardless of party.

Obama’s administration looks like amateur hour. Of course, the exception is Hillary, who everything you would expect of an SOS. Geitner looks like he’s in training, and the wheels are about to come off. Honestly, it’s questionable whether or not the man knows what he’s doing. The problem is, his boss knows even less than he does. We are in BIG TROUBLE.

And I was told by others that this was a new crew. Don’t worry, we’re not getting Chicago moving into the WH. Well….
