   Funny….except I don’t think Gheitner could mastermind his way out of a paper bag.

   Did you happen to catch his speech in Saudi Arabia this last week….SouthPark episode waiting to happen.

   Bush was no master mind either. He was simply a puppet whose strings were pulled by the masters, who aren’t even depicted here. A useful idiot.

   Geithner is just a getaway car driver.

    and, it, merely, continues, thusly:
    “…Of all the statistics pouring into the White House every day, top economic adviser Larry Summers highlighted one Friday to make his case that the economic free-fall has ended.
    The number of people searching for the term “economic depression” on Google is down to normal levels, Summers said.
    Searches for the term were up four-fold when the recession deepened in the earlier part of the year, and the recent shift goes to show consumer confidence is higher, Summers told the Peterson Institute for International Economics.
    Summers continued the administration’s push-back against critics of President Barack Obama’s handling of the recession, defending the economic stimulus package against Republicans who have tried to paint the program as a failure because it hasn’t stemmed the unemployment rate. ..”

    Fuld and Paulson belong on any list of defendants. But, the “charges” are poorly drafted, IMO.

    I stopped reading after Paulson, because it’s depressing. Not enough people are learning enough from this.
