2. Did he fire Tim Geithner?

If not, he's full of shit and is lying to us... again.

If Obama won't pull the trigger on him, Congress should impeach Geithner if they want to save their own jobs. Just from what we know now we can stick hundreds of fraud, conspiracy, and racketeering charges on that guy.

4. Only time will tell

The real question is how watered down of a bill in favor of the banks will it be?
