BO kept the TaxCheat around so that he could botch up the US/Global Finances and Economies, such brilliance....Haha. I guess BO put Hilary! in the State Dept. so when she fails he can put his favorite in that job too. You Obaots will never wakeup from your delusions.

The Big O is much smarter than people give him credit for. Watch the body language next time they are together…. Look for a UK style cabinet reshuffle after year 1, so that Obama can bring in the people he really wants to run things without presenting them with an impossible task that will render them all incapacitated. That's Tiny Tim's job. Our small but perfectly formed Treasury secretary is a sacrificial lamb. Jack,
