When The Obama was elected I was willing to give him a chance especially because I agreed with what I thought would be his vision of building consensus that was best for the country.
The first problem (followed by hundreds of others) was when he named Timothy Geithner to his current role.
From the many books to an HBO docu-drama, Geithener's role in the downfall and attempted rebuilding of the investment banks has universally been depicted as in over his head and failures...that was before his appointment.
Once appointed, we learned he couldn't use TurboTax accurately to do his own taxes, we have had the failed stimulas and unemployment continues to grow. Don't forget, the Dems had control of both houses for two years and could have picked any date as the debt ceiling deadline. Where was the leadership guidance there?
This weekend, he is on the talk shows again displaying a lack of understanding of the economy and furthering the "end of the world" scenario even though last week he was quoted as saying there is no back-up plan if the debt ceiling is not raised.
In other words, what has he done that has been proactive, resulted in any level or success or has supported the country rather than his big bank colleagues?
For all of the discussion in this forum and divergence of opinions, I at least hope we can agree that Geithner must immediately go.
