Repubs are asking for the resignation of Tim Geithner...

...over the downgrade and the debt limit debate.

Perhaps they can get done what we could not get done for the last two years?

The President seems to listen to the Repubs much more than he does his supporters?

How long before Geithner is gone?

This will more than likely mean were stuck with him a few more months.

But, please Mr. President, install a non-shithead in their place.

the Repubs hypocrisy knows NO bounds!!

then the other candidates followed, including Romney and Pawlenty. I hope they are successful.

Shouldn't she be asked if she will resign right after Geithner?

She seems to be a little off in her prognostication.

Well, what I really wanted was a public hanging but I am open to reasonable compromise.

Seems like it would be much quicker and the gush of blood would be a real crowd pleaser.

My sister still opts for putting them all in the stocks on a flatbed truck and doing a fifty state tour, selling garbage to throw at them. Or selling the opportunity to throw your own garbage.

Good to see Republicans and Democrats can agree on something.

The final hurdle: Does Grover Norquist want him gone?

the fact he's done what he was appointed to do for his masters.

for the seppuku of Grover Norquist.

If you're going after someone for the downgrade and the debt limit debacle, go after the right person.

Erskine Bowles Gets $350,000 a Year from Morgan Stanley

For some reason the media never find room to mention the fact that Erskine Bowles is a director of Wall Street investment bank Morgan Stanley (an otherwise bankrupt beneficiary of the bailout). Bowles was a co-chair of President Obama’s deficit commission and is now apparently one of the people whose name is being mentioned as a possible successor to Timothy Geithner if he were to resign as Treasury Secretary.

If Bowles was getting $350,000 a year from the United Auto Workers it seems likely that it would be mentioned in news reports. It’s not clear why the media do not think his ties to a major Wall Street bank are relevant.
