"Rep. Peter DeFazio, an Oregon Democrat pushing for a new tax on Wall Street transactions, is calling for Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to lose his job.

Dubbing White House economic adviser Larry Summers "an adviser from Wall Street" and Geithner – who he calls "Timmy" – "a Treasury Secretary from Wall Street," DeFazio suggested on MSNBC that the two men don't prioritize the best interests of average Americans."

Yes, I heard him on the radio, too. He's my Rep. here in Oregon, and well trusted and respected, been in office since the mid 80s. In fact, I worked on his first campaign to get elected then. I gather from other news account that the entire house on both sides of the aisle would like to see Geithner go.

Good grief I agree with him, Obama appoints the very man who was in charge of the banking system that tanked! And reward him in being Treasury Sec. The he in turn along with Frank assures that AIG still gets their bonuses!

Who better to guard the hen house, than a fox? :wink:

I was disgusted when he was anointed, errr I mean appointed myself Ian. But then again, just take a gander at Rangel. Do you think any of this matters in the grand scheme of things? :sad:
