Geithner Answers Senators Questions Thursday

Here is a video of some questions and answers from Tim Geithner and Democratic Senator Jeff Merkley, from Oregon Thursday. This is what I mean about him getting a bum rap by the media.

Geithner has always been a behind the scenes person, never been in front of the cameras much and so isn't very comfortable when he is speaking publicly. I think this is what hurt him when he made the presentation that everyone criticized.

Now, he just needs to either keep making them so he gets more comfortable or find someone else to speak for him...lol Either way, I still like the guy and think we have the best team for the job. Just listen to his answers and how he can hit the point and answer questions in a clear way. He sure doesn't seem to me like he is having trouble putting words together as the media has painted him.

Tim Geithner Sits Down With Charlie Rose

Tim Geithner sat down with Charlie Rose last night. Here is his their discussion. I have said before I think Tim is getting a bum rap. He is articulate, bright and was the pick of Wall Street when he was selected. Chuck Todd said just as much this morning.

I think because he hasn't done what Wall Street has wanted him to do, which is kiss their butts and give them money hand over fist, they just are not giving him the love any longer. So, now he is not a good pick, he is sending mixed messages. On and on. Typical negativity.

Watch this and see what you think. Sounds to me like he knows of what he speaks and like he has a plan. Maybe that's the problem, the plan he has is not what they want...lol
