Obama needs to have Geithner and Summers drop-kicked from the White House

[brentspeak]

They are a disaster. Get competent people in there who will initiate a public banking corporation like the Reconstruction Finance Corporation of the 1930s: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-kuttner/lifting-the-tarp-will-pre_b_175149.html

2. It's good to know some people are getting it.

Feel it coming
Its knocking at the door
You know its no good running
Its not against the law
The point of no return
And now you know the score
And now you're learning
What's knocking at your back door

4. Both of them are unmitigated disasters. It was obvious from the start. (nt)

5. We need Reich and Roubini to run the show...

... sure, the supply siders, kleptogarchs and FReepers will hate them, which is all the more reason to put them in place. And while we're at it, Helicopter Ben Bernanke has to go too.

7. He's the one who appointed them

Because he presumably approves of their free-market, neoliberal approach. It's not like Obama has ever lied about this.

8. I don't really think

I've paid enough attention to this.

9. Hear, friggin' hear!!!!!

It's not personal. They are both far too immersed in it, both are suspect in my book, and even if they were both paragons of virtue I'd still feel the same way because neither one of them is capable of thinking in bold strokes and outside of the box of the free-wheeling unregulated "free market capitalism" that got us into this mess.

President Obama, I implore you, get serious about this crisis before it becomes yours.
