I'm on a very short leash w/politics.

 

But the most bizarre thing in this clip to me anyway, is that he declares Geitner as the second best treasury sec. A man that had a significant hand in ALL the world's financial woes while helping Paulson to fully bankrupt AIG, then bailed out Bear Stearns and AIG with OUR money by the way, but not help lehman. Why not all the banks working within the limits of the laws (says Bush admin.) at that time.  They forced AIG to pay 100% on the dollar to investors for the 1000's of default swap losses by the toxic CDO's they insured and blocked any path to sue Goldman for fraud, thus the biggest financial debacle in global history? Let's not forget too that he didn't intend to pay all his back taxes until obama indicated his appointment and of course his illegal child care deductions also and was never fined. Yes sir mr President, geitner and paulson too by the way, are great men.

Watching the watchers since they decided to steel our country so many decades ago.

Liston carefully.   He doesn't say the second best treasurer.   He says that only one other had to deal with a greater multiplicity of issues than Geitner.   Nothing about how well he handled them.

Oh my dear Mallory.  Sonny Liston was a brutish cad who took gamblers money and laid down in the ring for that scamp Cassius Clay.  He did nothing carefully.  In the long haul, that Geitner fellow can keep telling us all what to do with our money, even though he couldn't fill out a quick tax form and is a horrid cheat.  Like Robert used to say....."He's a tax cheat".
