Geithner Is Sworn in As Treasury Secretary

[CHENYUNKE]

More people like Tim Geithner in control of the "Big picture", the faster the US will collapse.

[holding09]

From watching this video and reading all of the comments my fellow people have left I see it to be unanimous that Tim Geithner and Barrack Obama are basically fooling no one with their inconsistant background and socialistic views. I am proud of America for standing up to this establishment. It is so clear to see that corruption, pointless wars, and a wrecked economic nation are underlined by one common denominator. THE FEDERAL RESERVE! which Tim Geithner was the president of. Nice try tyrants

[meushubris]

This is all not happening is it? I fell like Alice going down the rabbit hole of Fascism...

[donotfret]

so let me get this streight... Geithner(formely FED bank employed)I going to audit the fed and reinstate the regulations that were nulled to prevent this disaster???Instead this genius will simply dump huge amounts of money on it.

[thablackmarkit]

white collar crook Timmay is the former president of the new york federal reserve.

A non federal, private cartel. a monopoly.

Robert gates, secretary of defense, and was bush's too. change?

Rahm Emanuel sucks cocks for federal reserve bills.

Rahm you duel citizen jew, you work for the people, not the other way around.

I SMELL WW3 engineering. No rahm i will not die for Israel.

Just bring the troops home already.

[califslayer]

I agree with you peteykkk he should be jailed ASAP ! ! ! !Not only Tim but I think they should go through the congress and start jailing some of those pieces of SHIT to clean house.

[califslayer]

Tim Geithner is a piece of SHIT ! He needs to step OFF right now. He is one of the lamest people I have heard of. I do NOT know what was going through Obamas head when he swore him in. As far as Biden - He is an idiot also. He is just there for the ride - he really does NOT know what he is doing ! Our economy is in the deepest shit ever ! I hope the american people are ready for a bumpy road ahead.

[Mikevdog]

Wonder how ol' Hussein Obama likes him now?

[catalinaguerrero]

@Mikevdog actually geithner is one of obama's bosses. Obama reports to Geithner not the other way around.

[cinnamonfantasy]

Alexander Hamilton a good man and the First Treasury Secretary is rolling over in his because this piece of shit is holding his old job. READ the quotes of Hamilton! Geitthner does the opposite of Hamilton!

[mwittek]

Tax evasion: A felony & a conviction can carry a prison sentence of up to 5 yrs &/or fines up to $100k.

Filing false return: IRS doesn't have to prove taxpayer intended to evade tax laws, just taxpayer filed false return. A felony & can result in a prison sentence of up to 3yrs &/or fines up to $100K.

Failing to file a tax return: This is a misdemeanor & can result in a max. prison sentence of 1yr &/or fines totaling up to $25k for ea. yr for which no return was filed.

Prosecute Them NOW!!!

[007InMiami]

Is Tim Geithner the only person that can handle this job. No one else can? Obama should have let him go and put someone else in. Oh by the way, Good ole Timmy sank stocks today with his banks program. Way to go Timmy. Lord give me strength. No, not you Barack!

[peteykkk]

How can Geithner cheat on his taxes and then write tax laws? This guy should be put in jail instead. What a crook!

[bittergunowner12]

And how can the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee *the one who writes the tax laws* forget to pay some income taxes and rent as well.

[spatter188]

Geithner is a crook & a liar he knew damm well that he owed those taxes & he is guilty of tax evasion & perjury before Congress. Just the type of person that Obama & the Clinton's will be comfortable with. Birds of a feather flock together.

[gvideos4u]

We have to understand that these people are in charge and not necessarily subject to the same laws that we are. We must look up to our leaders regardless of their shortcomings. It's a small sacrifice for the greater good. Don't be so picky. We all cheat and lie and are out for ourselves. Thinking that your appointed and elected leaders should be held to a higher standard is ridiculously naive.

[muttonpuncher01]

I am very dissapointed in Obamas choice. I thought we were going to see change. Every day we are getting closer to 'status quo' for another 4 years. Come on Mr.Obama. Lets not forget your promises!

[CircusMaximus09]

His promises were stated only to get himand his ilk elected

[eekdog2005]

The federal reserve is not federal nor does it have any reserves. They are killing your currency, driving this country into a greater depression. God save us all.

[mrbb33]

what a joke

He forgot to pay taxes?

[underpalmtrees]

n 2002 he left the Treasury to join the Council on Foreign Relations as a Senior Fellow in the International Economics department.[14] At the International Monetary Fund he was director of the Policy Development and Review Department (2001-2003).[8]

In October 2003, he was named president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.[15]

[larchmont08]

Wow? he must be the only guy qualified? Jesus this guy is the fucking worst. Turbo tax and you make 300k a year? I question that judgement alone. Not paying taxes; that's just pathetic. I guess he feels like it's confiscation; sounds like a republican

[ZoomBFX]

This guy Geither was the mastermind behind the first bailout.

Did that work? no

[jmo18799]

A guy who forgot to pay his taxes is now head of the IRS...What next Osama bin laden the head of the C.I.A

[GeminiAzules]

lol he told them to clap so they clapped.

[DevBlazed]

LMAO at the poor undereducated bastard (commentor) who thinks geithner is taking bernakes job,

[badji5]

wake up America, the same kat who didn't pay his own taxes for 8 yrs. is running the country's finances. . . think about it

[JDDasbach]

It's not good he didn't pay his taxes, then again, isn't it the responsibility of the treasury department to look at those forms and correct them and collect those forgotten payed taxes! Let's try to forget about the passed and look forward! Let us see how this new administration does before judging it!

[badji5]

What someone has done in the past most definitely characterizes them for future consideration. If an every day Joe doesn't pay their taxes for 8 yrs. they would be locked up, no if's, and's, or but's about it. I'm tired of this crap, we as a nation aren't ready for what is to come.

[JDDasbach]

I sence someone who fears to much, afraid of the future! I sence a Republican! I think people should be judged on what they did in the past! But shouldn't be condemned for life on it! Give people a chance to make up their mistakes! If their mistakes were not to big.

[badji5]

I'm not afraid the future b/c I know who is in charge Almighty God, not humans who think they are savior of the U.S. or the world, cough cough Obama. Just make sure your brain isn't so far washed that you can't decipher between what or who is real or fake. More govt. = more problems and Obama is all for it. Enjoy the "show"

[larchmont08]

first off it's "sense" Jesus get a GED! Secondly, he is NOT the only qualified candidate OK? Not paying your taxes is a big deal!! But not too Congress? Try doing that in my company and see where it takes you.... the unemployment line.

[larchmont08]

uh retard. It's the responsibilty of the individual to pay his/her taxes. Not the Treasury dept. The IRS enforces and collects that's all it does. BAD, BAD guy period

[JDDasbach]

So you simply say, if nobody payes his taxes, the Treasury dept. would think, ow no, thats not nice, and sits on his hands. Of course not! The IRS outsources collection of taxpayers debt to private debt collection agencies! This means that it's a mistake and its wrong from Geithner not to pay his taxes but also failing at the IRS and these private debt collection agencies!

[larchmont08]

OK slowly.............just for you? Once you afix your signature to the tax return. YOU, the taxpayer are responsible for the accuracy. NOT the IRS!!! He deliberately cheated, tried to cheat and even attempted to write-off his daughters summer camp; until the only accountant he used intervened. Bottom line is this is a very ethically challenged individual. I'm using stupid liberal PC verbage just for you. He is NOT the only one in a country of 300 million who can run the Treasury?

[dbadefense1990]

At least Geithner will be better than that fagtard Ben Bernanke.

[FugitiveCon]

At 1:45....

Obama is a narcissitic pompas ASS!

[DarthMai]

Geithner will be the head of the NEW WORLD ORDER...a NEW GESTAPO.

[FugitiveCon]

Can I screw up my taxes this year and get off, when caught, without penalties or punishment?

[DarthMai]

Mr. Obama, where are the TAX~CUTS for 95% of working Americans? A promise that again is JUST WORDS!!! What a shame!! And now to spend 1.5 Trillion dollars (At least) and the money will just disappear..just like the 850 Billion dollars in the first bailout.

[abarzilai664]

And you promise to file on time.

[alwaysright5]

Just brace yourselves folks, we have the most ignorant, marxist, piece of shit arrogant moron about to FUCK THIS COUNTRY ALL UP!!! Over 50% of Americans must be idiots to have voted this imbecile marxist muslim into office.

[JR1070]

So you're saying Obama fucked this country up? LOL

[alwaysright5]

@JR1070 No, but he is about to fuck this country up, and idiots like you do not see it until is too late or may be never. Obama is going to make the Bush years seem as the "good old days"

[ron1863win]

why did obama go on arabic t.v. for his first public interveiw.. thats a slap in the face for all america whether you voted for obama or not

[abarzilai664]

To reach out to the Arab World, the Bush admin also did this on al-Jazzera.

[fatmoleman]

Booo urns.

[trpsoxc2]

Geithner is the perfect man for the job!

[tedchyn]

Here are my 2 cents related to Obama's stimulus package

1. why will it take 200k to produce a single job by government (800b/4m) ? most private job do not pay this kind wage let alone government make work.

2. do we have planb in case this package do not work ?

3. what would happens to this country if this stimulus package fails ? will US follows the footstep of "USSR is no more " ?

[jasaahae]

As an american who voted for Obama, I must say that Obama is already doing a pretty poor job of keeping the jewish zionists out of his administration. Geithner is yet another jewish agent working for apartheid israel.

Obama is now surrounded by jews who have no interest in supporting his agenda, but instead will use their new positions to further benefit israel & the jewish people worldwide. Just look at Emanuel, Geithner, Summers, Axelrod, & Volker. Don't forget Madoff too!

Criminals!

[casanova0102]

ok.........

[kamak894]

No, Mr. Obama ...

[vick7atlfan]

Ahhhhh and so the corruption that Obama promissed would end continues with yet another criminal put into power right in front of our faces, is there no end to what these people get away with? When are we going to take it all back? When will other Americans pay attention to this stuff and watch who they vote for. Were fucked!

[lildwayne21]

It's not a big deal. You're blowing all of this out of proportion. Everyone makes mistakes.

[salemrush]

Our nationwide political lansdcape is full of criminals and deviants

[danielinraleigh]

I say Americans should only pay their taxes AFTER Tim Geithner pays his.

[sultar881]

stfu you dumb whitte ppl no one gives a shit what your talking about stfu

[RadioVenceremosUSA]

I don't care about illegal immigration. I just don't want them to have driver's licenses or things that I can't have like a free education or health care.

[ZoomBFX]

You should care just a little more.

People are losing there jobs left and right and the "jobs americans wont do argument" now no longer applies. Im sure all these people that got laid off need a job somehow. Now is the time to take those jobs and send the illegals running,

I should know, I worked in a chicken plant. Not a pleasant job let me tell you. But I worked. and I got a better job as I went around.

[jane5457]

what do you have against illegals?such hostilty you say used to work so I gather after going on up....you QUIT????

[ZoomBFX]

um.... Illegals are a drain on the economy, They have no allegiance to this country, They refuse to learn the language, they dont pay taxes, they take jobs for less money that alot of Americans could use, they have babies here in order to leach off the government later on, They commit crimes and end up either being deported or rot in jail (big percentage of prison) They leech of healthcare, another reason why healthcare cost are skyrocketing.

BTW, I was in college while I worked.

tu comprende?

[pvf204]

puto!

[jane5457]

We live in the greatest country in the world...does it surprise you that others want to come here.... not all illegals are bad maybe you should look at the companies that hire them...they are the ones at fault...did not mean to offend if I did I sorry..just wondered your reasons and you made it clear....

[DarthMai]

WHy do you think these companies hired the illegals? It is because they are paid less and in turn will give the companies more profits. If they are not going to get any profit because Americans want higher pay for those jobs then there is no reason to be in business. Look what the companies are doing now, they are laying off workers, its the fastest way to stay in business. With the Democrats preventing new drilling in ANWR, want to fix the price of gas at $4-$5, and to tax carbon emission, so?

[DarthMai]

The Democrats are moving in to spend more and increase our debt giving wall street and banks and welfare, abortions, increase their power base by more welfare...the value of the dollar will drop after more money is printed...This will in turn make us much poorer. And no TAX CUTS will be coming. THe 95% tax cuts in the campaign was a LIE.

[jane5457]

I have worked around some illegals at one time and they were making more than I was..and I an not illegal....and the company knew they were illegal didnt matter then...wont matter now..its just the way it is done.....

[ZoomBFX]

College that I paid for BTW.

[officialusa]

another criminal

[Perc3ptive]

Another Jew. Surprise.

[salemrush]

Jew gonna get yo money!

Jew gonna get yo money!!

Jew gonna get yo money!!!

[Docthewrench]

YES OBAMA is the MAN he will save us YES HE can, but dont you dare touch my money dude. I run my own business and you are not getting 1 dime from me. I also suggest letting them terrorists in Hollywood and give them each 100 grand they are good people I am sure put them in Hollywood I am sure they will do good

[RadioVenceremosUSA]

Tell Geihtner if he needs representation to call Tax Masters! LOL!

Can't believe Obama actually picked this idiot. Obama is too smart for this shit

[MacintechStudios]

Technically it's the Senate's fault.

[starcatcher7777]

Obamas Auntie Zeituni is back in the news

Posted by judyw on January 26, 2009

Barack Obama is not just the first black president — hes also probably the first president to have an aunt who is an illegal alien. And George W. Bush made sure to protect her before he left office. The Associated Press reports:

[RadioVenceremosUSA]

so? There is a lot of illegals out there. There's more important things to worry about. Plus illegals aren't coming here anymore they're going to an actual civilized country, CANADA

[starcatcher7777]

Radio:

Excellent : Deport them there! Call it job creation in the USA!

And then Close the borders to Canada and let them fly their own air space to Cuba for their EXCELLENT FREE HEALTH CARE!

[RadioVenceremosUSA]

I don't care to deport anyone. Lets worry about that later we have enough problems plus they aren't coming over here

[starcatcher7777]

Radio:

I do! THEY ARE A BURDEN ON THE TAX PAYER! Get rid of them NOW ! Not later NOW!

Teach the Obama Acorn workers to WORK !

[RadioVenceremosUSA]

I know that, but whats the point? I think that can wait. Some of those pay taxes. I am a tax preparer I've seen them

[starcatcher7777]

Radio:

Not enough! They do not pay enough in Taxes to take a job of some other American that just needs Hunger to motivate them to take their jobs! I bet you we can even have the Magic House Negro motivate them to pick grapes!

Besides them paying taxes is not the issue! THEY COST MORE THAN THEY ARE WORTH!

[RadioVenceremosUSA]

Well you can thank the Democrats who give everything to illegals. It isn't their fault they get everything. They're just here. Raids aren't going to work they'll keep coming. According to yahoo illegal immigration reached a 40 year low

[starcatcher7777]

Radio:

Did the DEMOCRAPS GO FETCH THEM?

Time to send them back to Mexico and where ever! That is just new Illegals! GET RID OF THEM ALL! IF WE NEED THEM HIRE THEM ON THEIR SIDE OF THE BORDER WITH A CASH BOND!

[arequipa1]

i don't know that obama is "too smart for this shit." i think he's an idiot. i don't think either he or geithner is fit to run the country. thus this pick surprised me not.

[RadioVenceremosUSA]

We just had 8 years of Bush, a bum off the street would be better president

[starcatcher7777]

Radio:

No, Not at all but that is close to what Obama is:

Show me his birth certificate!

[RadioVenceremosUSA]

I think its on his website. He was born in Hawaii though. McCain is a Panamanian! LOL! The land of Noriega and cocaine.

[KingNikan13]

I know Obama is more american than McCain

[starcatcher7777]

Radio:

No that is not Obama's Birth Certificate!

And McCain's PARENTS were both Americans serving America on American Territory :)

[RadioVenceremosUSA]

Panama isn't American territory. I know Americans would like to think they rule the world but thats not the fact. He's an American.

[starcatcher7777]

Radio:

Yes it was when he was born! YOU STUPID FUCK!

[RadioVenceremosUSA]

how polite of you. Man you have some severe people skills. I don't want to deport anyone and it isn't important just to fringe people like you

[starcatcher7777]

Radio:

I dont do PC: If you want PC go to a gay pride parade!

[arequipa1]

bush gets a really bad rap but look at the better aspects of his presidency. the economy grew for 53 straight months. education was improved with no child left behind. we did not have a terrorist attack on home soil since 9/11. just because a lot of stupid calendars were made with bush mis-speaks doesn't make him the colossal idiot he's made out to be. frankly i have no faith in obama whatsoever.

[alwaysright5]

I can't belive that over 50% of stupid ignorant Americans voted for Obama.
