Obama To Appoint Jack Lew As Treasury Secretary Tomorrow, Bloomberg Reports
As reported previously, when Bloomberg broke the news two days ago, it now appears that the official appointment of Jack Lew as the new SecTres will take place tomorrow. From Bloomberg: "President Obama will announce tomorrow that White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew is his pick for Treasury secretary, person familiar with the matter tells Bloomberg’s Han Nichols." In other words - goodbye Timmah: best of luck writing your new book, which in the tradition of every ex-public servant who departs the government where they kept their mouths firmly shut, we assume will be all about bashing Tim Geithner.
And for those who missed it:
Meet Jack Lew: Tim Geithner's Replacement
Bloomberg is out after hours with news that was expected by many, but which was yet to be formalized, until now: namely that following today's flurry of contntious nomination by Obama, the latest and greatest is about to be unveiled - Jack Lew, Obama's current chief of staff, is likely days away from being announced as Tim Geithner's replacement as the new Treasury Secretary of the United States. In other words, Jack will be the point person whom the people who truly run the Treasury, the Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee, chaired by JPM's Matt Zames (who just happens to also now run the notorious JPM Chief Investment Office which uses excess deposits to gamble - yes, you really can't make this up) and Goldman's Ashok Varadhan, global head of dollar-rate products and FX trading for North America (recently buying a $16 million pad at 15 CPW) will demand action from.
President Barack Obama is close to choosing White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew for Treasury secretary with an announcement as soon as this week, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Selecting Lew to replace Timothy F. Geithner would also require Obama to install a new chief of staff, the first step in a White House staff shuffle for his second term. Many of the president’s senior aides may be taking new roles as the president recasts his team, said the people, who requested anonymity to discuss personnel matters.
While Obama hasn’t made a final decision to pick Lew, his staff has been instructed to prepare for his nomination, said one of the people. Among the leading candidates to replace Lew as Obama’s chief of staff are Denis McDonough, currently a deputy national security adviser, and Ron Klain, who had served as Vice President Joe Biden’s chief of staff.
The next Treasury secretary will play a leading role in working with Congress to raise the government’s $16.4 trillion debt ceiling. The U.S. reached the statutory limit on Dec. 31, and the Treasury Department began using extraordinary measures to finance the government. It will exhaust that avenue as early as mid-February, the Congressional Budget Office says.
Geithner plans to leave the administration by the end of January even if the debt ceiling issue hasn’t been settled.
Somewhere, Larry Fink, and Jamie Dimon just exhaled (not to mention Mark Zandi whose stomp to the Great Barrier Reef brought him nothing but more seasonally adjusted disappointment).
So who is Jack Lew?
Here is an extended profile by Sam Stein, which however, will likely leave as many open questions as it answers:
White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew has been an unassuming figure during the Obama years. His media appearances are dull; his presentation is a bit bookworm-ish -- as if Harry Potter grew up and replaced his magic wand with Excel spreadsheets. When he speaks, the tone is usually measured and unemotional.
Behind the scenes, however, Lew has proven to be Obama's most skillful consigliere in matters of political trench warfare. Time and again during the debt ceiling debate, as Republicans attempted to get the administration to bend on top domestic priorities, it was Lew who proved to be a stick in the mud. Then serving as Office of Management and Budget Director, his insistence on playing out the practical impact of those cuts irritated Republicans to no end.
"What is infuriating to Republicans is that no one knows the federal government, the budget, these policies, better than Jack Lew," Kenneth Baer, a former senior adviser to Lew, told The Huffington Post. "Just as I imagine it would be frustrating to hit batting practice off Sandy Koufax."
Below are just a few excerpts from Woodward's book, "The Price of Politics":
[Brett] Loper [House Speaker John Boehner's policy director] found Lew obnoxious. The budget director was doing 75 percent of the talking, lecturing everyone not only about what Obama's policy was, but also why it was superior to the Republicans'.
[Barry] Jackson [Boehner's chief of staff] found Lew's tone disrespectful and dismissive.
Lew was incredulous when he considered the Republican proposal as a whole. The changes they were considering sounded simple. But the speaker's office was laying down general principles and looking to apply them to extremely complex programs. The devil was always in the details.
Boehner was sick of the White House meetings. It was still mostly the president lecturing, he reported to his senior staff. The other annoying factor was Jack Lew, who tried to explain why the Democrats' view of the world was right and the Republicans' wrong.
'Always trying to protect the sacred cows of the left,' Barry Jackson said of Lew, going through Medicare and Medicaid almost line by line while Boehner was just trying to reach some top-line agreement.
[Ohio Governor John] Kasich called [economic adviser Gene] Sperling at the White House, suggesting that he meet with Boehner. Lew, he said, did not know how to get to yes.
Sperling realized it was not a compliment that they wanted him. It essentially meant, 'Lew's being too tough. Can we get Sperling?'
Lew's wonky stubbornness during those negotiations didn't make him a progressive hero. In private caucus meetings, congressional Democrats laced into him for keeping them out of the loop and placing sacred cows on the negotiation table. But it did establish Lew as a true hub of power within the administration, and it showed that he, perhaps more than any other top adviser, had Obama's ear.
"I was in many meetings," Sperling recalled in an interview with The Huffington Post, "where Jack would say, clear as a bell, 'Mr. President, I think we can accept this. I’d have to go through all these little tiny cuts and stuff.' And the president would say, 'Jack ... you know my values. I trust your values.'"
For someone in a position of immense power, Lew remains a difficult figure to pin down philosophically. His youth was spent in New York City where -- as a June 2011 Politico profile noted -- he rallied against the Vietnam War and touted the import of immigration and public housing while serving as the editor of his high school newspaper. At Carleton College, his faculty adviser was Paul Wellstone, then a political scientist and later a famously liberal senator. Lew worked with Rep. Bella Abzug (D-N.Y.), another unapologetic progressive, before gravitating towards more moderate, establishment ground. He went to work with Rep. Joe Moakley (D-Mass.) and then took a job with House Speaker Tip O'Neill (D-Mass.).
Along the way, his view on D.C. politics changed. "[T]here’s a space in Washington that is not deeply populated, which is a bridge between the highly technical and the political,” he would tell Politico. "[I]f you could be fluent in both worlds and respected enough in both worlds, you could have an opportunity to be a translator and to make a difference."
Those who worked with him during that time period recall a type of pragmatism that seems antiquated today.
"It was a much different world, with a lot of collegiality amongst the Senate and House, the Republicans and Democratic staff people," said Lynn Sutcliffe, chief executive officer of EnergySolve, LLC, who worked with Lew while general counsel of the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee. "It was the art of the possible, not the art of promoting oneself or your boss' re-election."
Lew's work would prove influential in forging the famed Social Security deal made between O'Neill and Ronald Reagan in 1983. And when he departed the Hill in 1986 to join the lobbying shop that Sutcliffe once helped run, it was an important enough development to merit a small item in The New York Times.
Lew returned to government during the Clinton years, gradually rising to the ranks of OMB Director. He packed in long hours six days a week, taking off every Saturday to observe the Sabbath (he is an Orthodox Jew), honing the type of negotiating acumen that would prove useful for Obama. In talks with House Republicans, Lew would use fluency in economics -- despite not being an economist -- and a mastery of budget details to essentially out-will the president's priorities into legislation.
"What makes him a tough negotiator is not that he can’t get to yes or that he’s some kind of bulldog," Sperling said. "What makes him a tough negotiator is he knows his stuff so well ... He negotiates well by being a master of the detail."
In the Obama administration, Lew has been comfortable working largely in the shadows. His predecessor as OMB Director, Peter Orszag, matched his budget expertise with a sharp media savviness. His two predecessors as chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel and Bill Daley, were veritable celebrities.
Lew stepped into that position after the high-profile budget and debt ceiling fights of 2011 had passed. But aides and friends stress that he's been handed heavy tasks: not just managing a White House with half of its focus on the reelection campaign, but also restoring damaged relations with congressional Democrats.
"[Senate Majority Leader Harry] Reid didn't know much of Jack Lew until he started having to deal with him because he couldn’t trust Daley," said Jim Manley, Reid's former top spokesman. But once he did, a strong relationship was established. In a private meeting shortly after the debt ceiling deal was concluded, it was Lew who helped convince attendees that the final legislation wasn't such a bitter pill.
"Democrats soon became comfortable with it because he outlined the blow back or ping pong effect that would occur," Manley said. "He knew his facts cold. And he knows his stuff better than Boehner and just about anyone else on Capitol Hill."
Still, it's tough to tell what type of ideological imprint Lew has had on the administration. Aides credit him and Sperling with scoring major victories during the government shutdown debate in the spring of 2011 and the debt ceiling debate later that summer. House Republicans left the former thinking they'd secured $100 billion in savings, only to discover, upon closer inspection, that it was $32 billion. The $1 trillion sequester included in the debt ceiling deal included defense cuts, while leaving out top Democratic priorities like Medicaid (in one late-stage phone call with Republican aides, Lew screamed down attempts to make that program part of the trigger).
But in each instance, the broader debate was waged on Republican terms: additional stimulus spending took a backseat to deficit reduction. One Lew confidant said that Lew personally views himself as a progressive, despite having a reputation as a Clinton-era, new Democrat budget hawk. Sperling would only describe him as someone who straddles, if not outright ignores, the labels and lines.
"I’ve worked with Jack a large part of my adult life and I mean, he is what you see," he said. "He is very serious about deficit reduction but he operates from core progressive principles. In other words, he is not the type of person who either lets conservatives pressure him into backing down on basic issues of fairness, but on the other hand, he is never beholden to litmus tests from progressive groups that he does not believe are reasonable from a policy context."

BOOM! There it is. :) Algos take any headline and run and, like magic, anyone who DIDN'T buy the dip is f-ing wishing they did! LOL Not too late... BTFD!!
Jack Jew, I love that name.
No, it's "Lack Jew", LOL...just what we need, a head money man that "Lacks Jew"!!
Really, you can't make this stuff up.
Does it make a difference whether he is Jewish or not? If he is not Jewish, will he do a better job as Treas Sec?
Yeah, thought so you fucking retards.
Relax, Francis. I think you missed the point there.
No, you missed the point, fucking stooge. Is this you?
Belgian discovers his wife used to be a man after 19 years
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/belgium/9703166/Belgian..."Even during sex, I never noticed anything," he said.
"A friend told me that he had heard that Monica was actually a sex-changed man. I could not believe it. My son heard similar rumours," he said.
"I pushed her against the wall and said: Now I know the truth. Are you a man? She then announced that she was born as a boy and that she had been operated on. She was now a woman, and so she did not need to tell me about her past as a man. My world collapsed. That evening came to blows. The police came."
Poor stupids no wonder you can't figure out the real bad guys.
lemme guess: it's the Germans? Bc if I watch drama shows produced by hollweird, I tend to notice that the evil masterminds behind all crime are aryan males typically with german accents. Even if there are some fronts like a hispanic gang or some "armenians," they are always taking their marching orders from the germans.
This view on reality tends to be very different from real reality. But what do you expect from a clan whose entire history and self-image is a lie? A god who told them to slaughter and genocide and upon that alone is the basis for their claim to ownership of a slice of land? A group with a religion which sets in black letter policies of genocide, racism, and ethnic supremacy?
lol, you forgot to mention that the bad guys always drive a Mercedes - big giveaway
didn't the church tell us to slaughter because "Deus Vult"? I forgot how many Crusades we had over the centuries
no group ever had a monopoly on slaughter, wrong self-image and idiocy
I always laugh at people who in response to something going on NOW, bring up something that happened like a THOUSAND FKIN YEARS AGO.
STFU, you gd'd idiot.
In June 2006, Lew was named chief operating officer of Citigroup's Alternative Investments unit, a proprietary trading group. The unit he oversaw invested in a hedge fund "that bet on the housing market to collapse."[21]
On January 9, 2012, President Obama announced that Lew would replace William M. Daley as White House Chief of Staff.[31] Lew's nomination was followed with criticism[32][33][34][35] after renewed reports that he received over $900,000 in bonuses while working as COO of Citigroup, following the company's $45 billion in TARP rescue funds, after it saw $27.7 billion in loses, a 90% depletion in value.[36][37]
Wake me up when we get a Chairman without Tribe heritage. Fucking idiots can't figure out who's really in charge.
no group ever had a monopoly on slaughter, wrong self-image and idiocy

Self thriving fantasy of Chinese citizenism too bizarre even for strange Hollywood standards.
Now documentary film about Chinese citizenism roadside crapping? Maybe...
or if you need a dose of some dead German bad guys, just tune in pretty much any night to the Hitlery Channel, or Hitlery Channel "2"... brought to you by: guess who!
YES it does matter. jews head up Treasury, Fed, CFTC, and SEC. this, along with their positions as heads of top financial cos., gives them the crony capitalist edge they need in raping and looting taxpayers/citizens for their consolidation of wealth and power.
The stooges of Zero Hedge.
i dont know what the exact numbers are but I am positive that the percentage of blacks, latinos, asians, africans are bigger than the jews yet the whole effin U.S. financial system's power positions are stocked up 90% with one group of people. the jews.
Fink, Bernanke, Yellen, Blankfein, I could go on all day long....oh yeah its definitely 'LACKING of JEWS' alright. Like another poster said, its perfect irony we got another crony with this name in power.
Not to mention the jews stronghold on media and spreading propaganda on MSM and making sheeps believe everything they say.
Yeah this country really stands for democracy. I have dealt with many jews and these effers only care about themselves first, then fellow jews, then people with big noses or have a name that resembles jewish. You and me were never in their plans, we just effin expendable sheeps.
This is bullshit crap. Why are there more blacks in American football and women secretaries. This has been discussed here before, so you are a STOOGE. And just for your fun look at what group gives away more money to all people.
self-defense?
yep, because they've been run out of everywhere they've ever been...
ya wonder if maybe it was bc of stuff like they do here? Their homeland came as a result of genocide. The talmud is veritably satanic. Gee what a shock that nobody anywhere ever can get along with them? It's not the world that has the problem if nobody likes you. It's probably you.
Who is the fucking stooge here? Oh, it's a conspiracy right? You really ought to get up to speed instead of flapping your lips so much.
"Lew is an Orthodox Jew who observes the Jewish Sabbath and attends Congregation Beth Sholom.
Interviewed in a 2010 article, Lew's former boss on the National Security Council, Sandy Berger, commented that "Lew's faith never got in the way of performing his duties." Berger also said that Lew's commitment to his family was also extremely important, but that Lew "was able to balance the requirements, which was very, very hard—and he was determined to observe his religious traditions."
A 2011 press release from the Religion News Service noted that Lew also "has extensive connections in the American Jewish community," and that he might be able to help President Obama "build a more friendly rapport" with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Lew
You're a stooge. Who the fuck cares if he's a Jew? Did he lie on his taxes like Geithner? Do anything to make him unfit to be Treas Sec? That's the question, not Jew not-Jew, WTF? The Jew thing is a diversion away from the bad guys and we can see it fucking STOOGE.
I present facts to you and you post this? A "diversion away from the bad guys"? LOL.
who are the bad guys, then?
Look in the mirror troll
is one of your clan standing behind me?
who are the bad guys, then?

Chinese citizenism systemics at work.
Shut the hell up fool, the adults want to talk.
".... diversion away from the bad guys "
And which group do the "bad guys" belong to? You got your yarmulke too tight kid, wake up and smell the knishes.
and as an orthodox jew. he is generally guided by the beliefs enshrined in the talmud, which is a racist, master-race type document that espouses lying, subterfuge and theft/murder if necessary to obtain mastery over the goyim.
All the ancient documents are the same. You guys think you're making headway with the Jew thing? LOL.
the problem is not the ancient nature of the religious documents - it's the fools who still practice their tenets. you have not made one cogent argument - accept the truth.
wrong. The New Testament is NOTHING whatsoever like this.
Another projection from the tribe.
imagine the gnashing of teeth if a fundamentalist Christian were appointed Treasury Sec.!
You forgot child rape and incest ... that's a real fav of theirs.
MP3 audio book of: Elizabeth Dilling
"The jewish Religion. It's Influence Today"PDF book here:
http://antimatrix.org/Convert/Books/Talmud/dilling/jriit.pdf
so the reason there are more jooz in finance and media is because they have a genetic predisposition toward stealing and lying?
It is you who are the stooge, in the literal sense of the word. Jooz predominate in these industries because they practice ethnocentrism, aka racism, in favor of their clan. We don't need more of them in positions of power that they never share nor relinquish.
If we take a look at professions they dominate, we see nothing but things that revulse us. Media is full of walking bags of filth. Finance is full of thieves and con artists. Congress, with senior positions now dominated by jooz, is less highly-regarded than cockroaches.
When everyone throughout time dislikes you, maybe it's not everybody else that has the problem.
Easy to gather stooges of ZH in one post. Just mention someone with Jewish name and out come the filth. And you are the stooge, here to divert our rage from your group.
Hint: More jews in finance because it's what you MASTERS allowed
yep...it's all "everyone else's fault."
Got it. Do you guys actually believe that? I mean I have some acquaintances and they are mostly self-deceptive like this. I wonder if it's the talmudic taqiyya thing that Mo stole or if the Big Lie is so well-ingrained that you started believing your own crap. I guess that would explain the self-destructive tendency among you...I get a whiff of your actually wanting someone to put you out of your collective misery.
"We only peddle the filth and con and scam people because we were persecuted into doing it."
ROTFL...you've been bleating this BIG LIE for centuries. Cry out in pain as you strike.
And the fact that you want it so bad for us to blame the Jew. You NEED us to blame the Jew makes us even more suspicious.
I neither want nor need anything.
You will not be permitted to turn blunt factual statements into referenda on the people making the statements.
The group that is pathologically INCAPABLE of self-awareness is not the anglosaxon, the creator of things called human rights, the freer of slaves, the Prometheus Race of man.
People had to BEND christianity, the "white" religion, to get it to condone barbarism. The same isn't true of judaism and mohammedism; genocide and slaughter is written into those religions as commandments.
Evil people have evil religions.
Maybe you are just an old racist, doubt it.
Here is some info about your anglosaxon fantasy.
11th century Anglo-Saxons had a violent and gruesome justice system
London, Jan 1 (ANI): Latest archaeological techniques used on headless bodies found in a Yorkshire cemetery in UK, has led researchers to suggest that the system of justice carried out by the Anglo-Saxons was quite violent and gruesome.
According to the Yorkshire Post, the dozen skeletons 10 without their heads were discovered by archaeologists in the late 1960s in a Bronze Age barrow at Walkington Wold, sparking theories that it was the site of a massacre, a series of executions or even a Celtic head cult.
http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/health/11th-century-anglo-saxons-had...
and what did Anglos do since?
Instituted human rights. Invented modern medicine, electric power, lifted more people up from a hardscrabble life and gave more to more people than your parasitic clan could ever DREAM of. Truly, the european male is PROMETHEUS. From Greece to Rome to France to Britain to the USA. WTF has ANYONE ELSE done that can REMOTELY compare in terms of bettering the human condition?
All you apologists can do is compare behavior NOW to stuff someone did 1000 years ago.
Anglosaxons evolved; it's time for you to.
Now it's confirmed. Your words reek of fake passion. You're a STOOGE.
Wow, this guy's like the koshered energizer bunny that doesnt give up. Good Riddance.
and he loves the word STOOGE, must be from THREE STOOGES, also known as Moses, Samuel and Jerry Horwitz
As in:
Definition of STOOGE
1
a : one who plays a subordinate or compliant role to a principal
b : puppet 3
2
: straight man
3
: stool pigeon 1
Examples of STOOGE
1. a gangster and his stooges
2. He's just a stooge for the oil industry.
you can't seem to distinguish fact vs. opinion.
Jews disproportionately populate positions of power and influence in this country, and many of them are dual citizens in Israel, an inherently race/religious based state. That implies, at least, split loyalty. Within this US oligarchy of finance and fascist politics (AIPAC), cronyism pervades. With a little research, you can verify this yourself. See who runs major finance, govt appointed finance, entertainment and news media, hedge funds, NGOs, blah blah. it's easy to prove. it is not coincidence - it is religio-ethnic cronyism, the very thing the ACLU, JDL, SPLC, fight against when it is exercised by others.
nonwhite countries are only for nonwhites. Go home gringo.
white countries, on the other hand, belong to everybody.
I had some liberal idiot tell me straightfaced that the UAE has no obligation to give political power or decision say to the MAJORITY of their country that is now Indians (in Dubai especially), because well, it's a dictatorship and it's the emiratis' dictatorship.
WTF? But the US or Holland has NO RIGHT YOU FKIN RACIST to say that ANYONE from ANYWHERE else should have to do things THEIR way or that they should be able to establish a government that doesn't have more-than-equal participation by minorities.
South Africa was evil...Israel is pure.
The black players in American football dont affect my life aside from some excitement on sundays
The female secretaries usually just do their job without affecting me aside from the good looking ones giving me a boner.
But the effin policies enacted by the Jews 'for' the Jews are effin raping my hard earned money
Of course I give a damn about it, you fuckin STOOGE.
And all the money the jews are giving away? Well they go right back into the jewish community. I dont get an effin cent of it....actually I funded the local synagogue with my hard earn money that somehow got funnelled into their greedy hands!
sing it with me: 1-877-KARS for Kids, do-nate your car today ... guess where all that money goes?
Hey whstlblwr.....
I got me a whistle in my pants and was wondering if you could stop by later...?
Oh yeah, and this part really cracked me up: ""He is very serious about deficit reduction but he operates from core progressive principles."
That's like saying, "1+1=2, but also, 1+1=3"
Hi-larious.
Progressive = naive totalitarian.
Why not me?
Always the bridesmaid...
I've considered it but the thought of 2 face-bearded, trembling voices and non-confidence-inspiring demeanors as the heads of the Treasury and the Fed was more than I could bear. A live conversation between you two may trigger a revolution.
BHO
Because old Lew is going to be the barer of bad news and sacrificed on the altar of popular opinion with his family name.
They need you to write more books about what they tell you to.
I would have picked you dude, don't feel bad, they have other plans for you .. ;-)
Jet pack Jack to the rescue. Priceless.
Say hello to the new boss.
Same as the old boss.
"Say hello to the new boss."
my pleasure....
FUCK YOU JACK LEW, AND BERNANKE, AND ALL YOU OTHER COCKSUCKER BANKER SOCIOPATHS.....
Bro....don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel. :)
at least im consistent...
and the best is yet to come....
cheers....
Not good.

Over the Cliff Notes:
The Secretary of the Treasury is in charge of Gun Control.
A move on the board worth noting as significant.
More specifically:
"The Gun Control Act of 1968 vests the Treasury Secretary
with authority to regulate the importation of firearms. "
The involvement of Treasury in GCA of '68 is interesting:

how's that gonna affect the domestic manufacturers? Will be lots of AR15 clones still...
nobody is rampaging with well made german carbines
Are all parts on those domestic rifles and pistols made in America? Most foreign mfgs have operations in the US anyway. Banning imports is just one way to attack the industry.
Taking bets on how stupid this motherfucker is. I wonder if he also uses Turbotax?
I like how they compare him to Harry Potter. Step back bitches this kid is going to work his "magic"!
To me, he looks (and sounds) similar to Kissinger.
That is to say, he's probably just as capable of boring the dead back to death (again).
Which, by the way, is HK's #1 skill and why he was "invaluable" to all the assholes he worked for.
Kissinger had a pedigree and a very broad/deep talent set to maintain a career of his own choosing. Plus he had that voice. He could read the phone book and it would sound interesting.
Poor old Lew is nobody and he's going to be given orders to fire most of the US civil servants.
Only time a quick change happens in a business organisation is when they need an Axe man. He does happen to have the right pedigree for that btw looking at his background, cv, past posts.
I smell short term Hatchet man.
nice of turbo timmy to let the us mint start selling silver eagles again on his way out the door...looks like they sold another 300k overnight! 4.3 million in a week!

great yet another kike..how about greenspan..
One more Jew in just the right place,....eh?
Oops, I said the word,... Jew!
I noticed the typo also; its Jack Jew
Or Jack Screw.
Which will occur after 4 years, perhaps even faster than we think. Raise the deficits to over 20 trillion and 14 million people more on Social Security, 55 million on food stamps and the US will really be screwed.
I suspect this guy will make us long for the days of Geithner. Better an idiot than someone philosophically wedded to bad ideas. True believers are generally best avoided.
Just another another WASP in a key position, when will people wake up to this disproportionality.
Protestant ?
Don't think so.
You can't detect sarcasm?
Sorry.
Not enough caffeine yet today.
where is Duke Power and "disproportionate hiring = prima facie racism" when you need it, eh?
At least it's not Krugman, thank God!
Surprised he's not a Goldman Sachs alum.
[deleted!]
As anticipated, the market is tired of its '2 day losing streak' of 0.5% in the indexes and is now on the move back up due to earnings 'beats' from lowered expectations. VIX is unrealistically low in the 13's.
We are surrounded by Jews. Checkmate ?
You spelled it wrong, it's spelled JOOOOOZ!
I suppose the unabashed savaging of our nation into debt will continue with Jack Lew.
Maybe a $25 trillion deficit with Jack. It just keeps climbing.
How is the treasury able to have these bond auctions today? Are we not tapped out?
well ... he looks like a very nice man to me. he is jewish ? i did not know that, will have to research that. why are there so many jewish people in the U.S. gov't ? i'll have to research that, too. i wonder if this man will be as lying & corrupt as the other man who was Secretary of the Treasury..... you know, that Robert Rubin person; no no.... i mean that Larry Summers guy. no, not him either, i mean Timothy Geithner ! but, it doesn't even matter anymore, we're all toast & the whole thing is going to hell.
His first name is Jacob.
He's a Jew (and an Orthodox one, at that):
Barry wants to make sure his schedule remains clear on Saturdays, so he can beat his own record for rounds of golf in a 4 year term
From the article above:
Lew returned to government during the Clinton years, gradually rising to the ranks of OMB Director. He packed in long hours six days a week, taking off every Saturday to observe the Sabbath (he is an Orthodox Jew), honing the type of negotiating acumen that would prove useful for Obama...
Why all the questions of whether such a minority can represent such a large and diverse population? When a population like California can have 3 jewesses occupy our 3 highest federal legislative positions, it's obvioulsy indicative of their inherent superiority of knowing what's best for us. God doesn't make mistakes.
you misspelt G-d
I bet this guy would do well in prison.
Is there going to be any person in the US Economic Cabinet that ISN'T a Jew?
Either way, this just confirms the continued circle jerk that is Beltway Politics.
Then there's the Supreme Court, not one white, male protestant, but Jewish media will have you convinced the "Anglo-American bankers" control the world.
well, it is bankers in anglo-american countries. They just have names like Benjamin and Jacob.
Those who hail from the clan are going "Right on!!!!" about now. Another one of the mafia into a key position.
Jack Lew. I swear there is a subliminal message in there.
"Jack Lew. I swear there is a subliminal message in there..."
yeah, i could have sworn i heard...

Valet (center) and lackey (right) serve wine. Illustration from H. Reuß zu Köstritz: Der korrekte Diener, Paul Parey Verlag, Berlin 1900; p. 21
A lackey or lacquey is a term for an uniformed manservant, in its original meaning (attested 1529, according to the Oxford English Dictionary).
The modern connotation of "servile follower" appeared later, in 1588 (OED).[1]
The Beatles did alot of that...Listen carefully and you will hear "I buried Paul"

Never trust a Jew with two first names.
Something is missing.... Seems to be missing his GS internment. Not sure if we can interpret as a good sign. Rats jumping ship?
He's part of the Citi crew, which is third in line behind GS and JPM in the perpetual circle jerk of DC.
Robert Rubin was a Citi guy.
I was also very intrigued to learn he has very minimal ties to the banking cartel outside a brief two years at Citi... maybe they're trying to be less blatant about who they appoint.
I hate to tell you this, but he changed his name from William Mortimer III. He should've changed it to Jack White and learn how to play a guitar.
That is a bad sign. What was Stalin's original name? And, why did he change it?
Satan... or Barry Soetoro? Iwill have to confim that though.
Thank goodness, Jacob Lew is another Jew. They're so good with the goyim's money.
So we're going to have both and ideologue and a demagogue as Treasury Sec -- in the same guy! That should work out well!
So, when this guy takes a vacation, is that a Jack Off?
"On January 9, 2012, President Obama announced that Lew would replace William M. Daley as White House Chief of Staff.[31] Lew's nomination was followed with criticism[32][33][34][35] after renewed reports that he received over $900,000 in bonuses while working as COO of Citigroup, following the company's $45 billion in TARP rescue funds, after it saw $27.7 billion in loses, a 90% depletion in value"-wikipedia
Go back to sleep goyim, or we'll label you anti-semite! At least they finally found this rat a position.
There will be a long-winded article in The Atlantic telling the prole maw about what a wonderful red sea pedestrian he is, and what a souper job he's doing on the merikan peepole.
Heil!
My 8yr old son knows that if he has a $1 allowance he can't afford the $50 RC car he wants. I think he may be more qualified.
Your son should apply for a COLA.

Sorry if you already saw this but I'm looking for some momentum on what seems to be a big issue which is as yet under the radar.
Any fellow ZHs know anything about this?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20957587
Looks like the start of a slippery slope to me.
Next pre-school kids "for their protection"; then adults "Sir, why wouldn't you want us to know where you are? What have you got to hide?" etc.
This seems like a big issue which is as yet under the radar.
Geee, what could go wrong? Besides, It'll never happen here...
Dude...this school is in Texas...it is happening "here"...!
"The new identification policy at the Northside Independent School District (NISD) in San Antonio, Texas, began at the start of the 2012 school year.
John Jay High School is one of two schools piloting the programme, which eventually aims to equip all student badges across the district's 112 schools with radio-frequency identification (RFID) chips."
Their just trying to keep you and your children safe, in the mean time, your drinking poison from your watertap.
The American tax payer is still on the hook as co-signer for all those Federal Reserve Notes Timmy signed.
Thanks, Turbo!
Jack Lew(ser) Awesome appointment for a losing administration.
Why dont they just place a phone call into Corcoran prison in CA and see when Charlie Mansons next parole hearing is, spring him out and make him the new Secretary of State?
Charlie Manson is Jewish?!?
Well I never...
Lew means Lion in polish (and probably close to in other slavic languages)
as 99% of world jews come from that region, nothing surprising...
good luck US & world, again...
This thread is going to be like the guns and warming threads isn't it?
and he has the power to ban the importation of guns:

.. WHAT .. THE.. FUCK..
Bad, but we all knew this was a possibility.
USA has never had a problem making its own guns.
Yeah, but it just makes it harder to get inexpensive ones.
the drums are off in the distance...
Nice anagram! 'Jew Lackey'!
Where is Francis Sawyer to weigh in? Guess "Joobux" is not going out of style any time soon!
While the fight club is out pissing and moaning this fine morning nothing is going to frigging change. Hell they could have put a homeless person off the street for all it mattered as Lew will do as the last Sec and take his orders from his masters. I would not lose any sleep over it.
Print and spend is whats going to happen. I guess the Dems woke up and now want to reopen the tax increases lol. Funny how they voted for them without reading them and now want to reopen them as they really got suckered this time.
Hell they could have put a homeless person off the street for all it mattered as Lew will do as the last Sec and take his orders from his masters.

Some jews sure like a bit of fascism if it suits them...

Jack Lew MUST NOT Be Treasury SecretaryBet you didn't know what's hidden in The Gun Control Act of 1968.
The Treasury Secretary is vested with the right to ban importation of any firearm he finds "does not have a sporting purpose."
There were plenty of chances for this to happen since 1968. We had an assault weapons ban for 10 years and yet this power was not excercised? Stop worrying.
Yet but did they have as rabid anti gun nuts as Obama and his Chicago ilk?? I don't think so.
Jack Lewser. Another unqualified Communist twit.
Lack Jew.
Perfect! Appoint a political hack, a tool who knows nothing about the U.S. Treasury Department or it's functions but who will do anything asked by his boss.
So Boner has not figured out you cannot deal with communists/fascists.
McCarthy may have been a drunk, he may have been a media whore, but he was right.
Well, well, well, then.
How convienient again folks, another member of the 1.7% population wise ends up in another position of untenable power. Do you think questions should be asked as to why as a percentile group as small as 1.7% of a population of over 300 million folk yet another one lands a top, high paying and very influential position of power again??
There is only so many times a conspiracy can be called one, with figures, and all other types of statistics against all common conceptions that one group of people continually end up near or at the wheels of power, again, and again, and again.
And when you see the out-right destruction these same people are capable of, and continue to do so to the tune of $16 Trillion fucking dollars, a conspiracy can not even be called it, you dont have to be an anti-whatever, the fucking truth is the truth, is the truth. But then again, more and more folk are waking up and are becoming quite aware of what is happening here. Just give it a bit more time peeps.
if it were any other group, questions would be asked. But this is why their doctrine says they should take hold of the message fora first. This way when you control what gets said and what doesn't, you effectively control perception, which is like controlling reality.
Things simply "don't happen" because otherwise they'd have been news, right? People would have heard about them. This was one of the central themes of 1984.
This clan is like La Cosa Nostra...this same behavior is WHY they were run out of everywhere they've ever been. Each time of course, they claimed they were acting in a predatory ethnocentric manner because of "self-defense." Just like how our war department has the name "defense" department and we call spending on AGGRESSION instead "defense" spending. It's the Big Lie.
But what do you expect from people whose religion sets down in writing a policy of conquest, predation, and even genocide? Whose "ancestral homeland" was garnered by the result of wanton slaughter and invasion (I don't mean in 1947). People should really read the old testament and the talmud...it's really rather similar in nature to islam, which was a copycat of judaism because mo wanted to be their messiah.
