Fox Business Interviews Tim Geithner, Amusing Freudian Slips Ensue

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Earlier today Tim Geithner was interviewed by Fox Business' Peter Barnes. The interview itself was not notable, with Timmy "Repo 105s are perfectly legal: I signed off on them myself" Geithner toeing the party line on issues such as a the Renminbi (It is a very important issue. It’s an important issue for China. I think China will decide it’s in their interest to move." - uh, right, just as soon as the US decides it is in its interest to tighten a couple of trillion in extra liquidity), trade wars (“No I’m not concerned about that.”) and other Houdini issues that just distract from the center piece of America's middle-to-klepto class wealth transfer. No, what was hilarious was Peter Barnes Freudian slip not once, but on two occasions: "Isn't the New York Fed Wall Street's representative?"... and even after an immediate and adamant refutation by tax challenged one, Barnes asks once again: "But [the Chairman of the FRBNY ] does represent Wall Street and its views." Leading to a response of "No....No...."

Hillarious Freudian slip or the absolute and unmitigated truth - you decide.

Fast forward to 3:05 in the clip below (Part Two of the interview. Part One can be found here).

Bahaha, poor timmy...

Little does he know that once the puppet masters that pull the strings in the shadows are speeding away in their limo's to their fueled up and spooled up private jets, they will throw him to the angry mob...

At the end of the day, we all lose in the great scheme of things...

There's nothing much to laugh at in my opinion.

10 years ago you would never have thought a man like Timmy would have made Treasury Secretary. 10 years from now , if still around, you will be wondering how we ever let the thugs and thieves take control and destroy the US.

The US Govt is for the thieves, by the thieves and of the thieves. One cannot expect justice from it. The few good people in the Government are powerless to do anything about it.

Why? We'd already had the likes of Robert Rubin, Larry Summers and Henry Paulson. What's not to like?

Tim looks seven years older. This guy probably spends all night watching Green Acres instead of sleeping.

"Does Wall Street lose a voice?"  Hilarious hearing Timmah stammer that the NYFRB doesn't represent Wall street banks.  JHC.

Twenty years ago Timmy was a colorless and humorless little boy with a Napoleon Complex.  He hasn't grown.

Of such mediocrity superheroes are not made.  That Obama would select this social misfit as SecTreas tells me everything I need to know about Obama.

Off topic and a bit tongue in cheek, but has anyone copyrighted Oreobama?  Hate to feed the likes of Beck and Limbaugh, but considering how much Obama has worked to transfer lots of wealth to rich white folk on Wall Street, the name might have some traction.

Same here.  My reservations about Obama were confirmed when he hired Timmah.

TheBamster had little or nothing to do with 'picking' Geithner.

He was  told who would be S of T and that's that.

Timmy was hired to sell the party line and be hated.

 

He's doing a good job.

I'm not buying his schtick, so as a salesman he fails.  On your other point he has succeeded in spades.

Harbourcity is right, Timmay G. is the "whipping boy."

Every organization has one. The idiot blame taker. It keeps the attention off of what the other thieves are doing and misdirects the anger.

Everybody Plays the Fool, Sometimes...

Whipping boy, fool... I give Timmay an A+ in that position...

The absurdity of this scumbag talking about the crisis in the past tense - as if it's over.  It hasn't even gotten bad yet - compared to where it's going........

He also acts like he didn't have anything to do with actually CREATING the crisis. HE DID!

What a disingenuous prick.

STRING HIM UP!!!

TG is beyond words....what is really funny is Dearest Leader's major gaff yesterday about HC. To the effect that a 3000% improvement will come from his gov't plan regarding insurance premiums. Totally unbelievable. And mathematically impossible! Now that is no, no, no....

The only thing that makes this prick watchable is his hair. It's like a squirrel or something crawled up top of his head and died and he didn't even notice.

Any day now, I expect to see Timmy on TV donning red, polyester pants, a white belt, white shoes and a short sleeve shirt with a gator sewn on it.

"Come on down to Timmeh's !"

"We're wheelin' and dealin'" !
