Did you know that Geitner's job at the New York

[Swimmer]

branch of the federal bank from 2003 to 2006 was keeping tabs on the money that was flowing through the mortgage market? Yes he was in charge of overseeing the current mess come to fruition. Thats why when O'Bama (insert shamrock) said he had integrel knowledge of the banking system and its flaws. What O'Bama means is that he is giving him another chance to screw up even worse than he has allready. We are so screwed. I can't think of anything optimistic to say about the stimulus bill.

In his prior role, Geitnher was critical to the decision not to bail out Lehman Brothers, which most agree was a major mistake and led to a number of downstream effects.

If he's such a rube why did he receive so much bi-partisan support? Hell, the Senate Republians were falling all over the nomination.
