The Fox Is In Charge Of Da Hen House!

His First Mistake...

Is Our Last.

"OK everyone that's a sucker Scape-Goat put your hand up"!
"You too Joe"!
This man, Tim Geithner, is the definition of the word "Evil"!

WASHINGTON – New York Federal Reserve Bank ,<---(WATCH), President Timothy Geithner won confirmation Monday as President Barack Obama's treasury secretary despite personal tax lapses that turned more than a third of the Senate against him. Obama immediately put him to work fixing an economy in "dangerous jeopardy." "We can't waste a day," Obama said, standing beside Geithner as he was sworn into office by Vice President Joe Biden. The Senate voted 60-34 to put Geithner in charge of the administration's economic team as it races to halt the worst financial slide in generations. The swearing-in followed less than an hour later, the administration seeking to emphasize that it was wasting no time in trying to address the financial crisis. Obama said there had been a "devastating loss in trust and confidence" in the U.S. economy. In his remarks, Geithner said the new administration would work first to stabilize the financial system and get the economy growing again and then would move to reform the system. "We are at a point of maximum challenge for our economy and our country," Geithner said to a standing-room only audience in Treasury Department's ornate Cash Room. On hand were Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers, now director of Obama's National Economic Council. Referring to Geithner's tax problems, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Geithner had made amends — he has paid the taxes and penalties — and possessed the talent needed to steer the nation out of the crisis. Geithner, 47, served as undersecretary of the treasury for international affairs during the Clinton administration. As president of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, he's been a key player in the government's response to collapsing financial institutions and the housing and credit markets since last summer. The ambivalence dogging lawmakers was reflected in the fact that a third of the chamber voted against Geithner, in large part because of his failure to pay all his taxes on income received from the International Monetary Fund in 2001 and in three subsequent years. Ten Republicans overlooked that matter and voted for confirmation. One Republican, Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, told reporters earlier in the day that he would vote yes, only to change his mind and vote no. Three Democrats and one independent voted against Geithner's confirmation, including Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., the longest-serving senator in history. "Had he not been nominated for treasury secretary, it's doubtful that he would have ever paid these taxes," Byrd said in a statement. For the prevailing majority, the real reason for Geithner's likely confirmation appears to be less a matter of bipartisan cooperation than political survival. Lawmakers of all stripes are eager to set the economy in the right direction long before voters judge their progress in the 2010 midterm elections. "People make mistakes and commit oversights," said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah. "Even the most intelligent and gifted — two adjectives that certainly apply to Mr. Geithner — make errors in their financial dealings." Even so, not everyone was convinced that the need for a speedy confirmation should trump concerns about the candidate. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, didn't buy Geithner's contention that he skipped paying some taxes because he was confused by the complexities of the tax code. "They were described by the nominee himself as 'careless mistakes,'" Collins said in prepared remarks. "It has become clear to me that this is not merely a matter of complexity leading to mistakes, but of inexcusable negligence." Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., agreed and noted that his is one of the few voices of dissent. "Nominees for positions that do not oversee tax reporting and collection have been forced to withdraw their nomination for more minor offenses. They have been ridden out of town on a verbal rail," Enzi told the Senate. "The fact that we're in a global economic crisis is not a reason to overlook these errors." "The Senate," he scolded, "is not supposed to be a group of 'yes' men." It wasn't. Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa lined up against the nominee, asking how someone of Geithner's "financial sophistication" could innocently not pay the taxes and then head up the agency that oversees the IRS. "How can Mr. Geithner speak with any credibility or authority?" Harkin said. Specter earlier in the day had told WHP radio in Harrisburg, Pa., that he planned to vote for confirmation, only to change his mind and vote no later in the evening. "I'm prepared to back Obama on this issue," Specter had said in the interview. "The economic situation is so tense right now and I don't want see us go back to square one and wait several weeks or longer for the process to bring in a new treasury secretary." The 10 Republicans who voted yes were Sens. Bob Corker of Tennessee, John Cornyn of Texas, Mike Crapo of Idaho, John Ensign of Nevada, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Judd Gregg of New Hampshire, Hatch of Utah, Richard Shelby of Alabama, Olympia Snowe of Maine and George Voinovich of Ohio. The Democrats voting no were Sens. Byrd, Russell Feingold of Wisconsin and Harkin of Iowa. Also voting no was Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who caucuses with Democrats. Sens. Kit Bond, R-Mo., Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass. and Ron Wyden, D-Ore., were absent. Senate seats representing Minnesota and New York are vacant. The Senate Finance Committee approved Geithner's confirmation in an 18-5 vote last week.

Obama Da Clone!

Who Owns Da Federal Reserve Bank?

Well here's a clue it's not you!

Or America.

) The Rothschild Family - London 2) The Rothschild Family - Berlin 3) The Lazard Brothers - Paris 4) Israel Seiff - Italy 5) Kuhn-Loeb Company - Germany 6) The Warburgs - Amsterdam 7) The Warburgs - Hamburg 8) Lehman Brothers - New York 9) Goldman & Sachs - New York 10) The Rockefeller Family - New York.
Now I don't know about you, but something is terribly wrong with this situation. Namely, don't we live in AMERICA? If so, why are seven of the top ten stockholders located in FOREIGN countries? That's 70%! To further convey how screwed-up this system is, Jim Marrs provides the following data in his phenomenal book, "Rule By Secrecy." He says that the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which undeniably controls the other eleven Federal Reserve branches, is essentially controlled by two financial institutions:
1) Chase-Manhattan (controlled by the Rockefellers) - 6,389,445 shares - 32.3% 2) Citbank - 4,051,851 shares - 20.5%
Thus, these two entities control nearly 53% of the New York Federal Reserve Bank.
Doesn't that boggle your mind?
Now, considering how many trillions of dollars are involved here, and how the bankers are WAY above our "selected" officials in Washington, D.C., do you think the above-listed banks and families have an inordinate amount of say-so in how our country is being run?

Does any of those names sound familair?

Get A Clue Amereica!

This is Not "CHANGE"!

It's Da Same'Ol'Same'Ol!

Don't Ever Forget..

"The only man, woman, or child who ever wrote a simple declarative sentence with seven grammatical errors is dead," American poet E.E. Cummings said on the passing of U.S. president Warren G. Harding, precursor to the far more extravagantly syntax-challenged George W. Bush.

Bemused by his losing battle with the language, but happy in his good fortune to occupy the White House just the same, Bush told the 2001 graduating class at Yale: "And to the C students, I say, you, too, can be president of the United States."
If you have tears, prepare to shed them now for the dozens of gag writers in the field of late-night comedy – a frightening number of them Canadian – obliged to quit Earl Grey for Wild Turkey as the Miscommunicator-in-Chief gives way Tuesday to a new president showing little sign of a propensity to mangle either the language or domestic and foreign policy.
Gags there will be, but alas much fewer and further between.
Assuming Dubya's future pensées are of interest mainly to the Crawford Daily Bugle, here's your last chance to review the 43rd president's greatest hits and identify the word or phrase he was attempting to convey.

"I want to share with you an interesting program -- for two reasons, one, it's interesting, and two, my wife thought of it -- or has actually been involved with it; she didn't think of it. But she thought of it for this speech." -- George W. Bush, discussing a company that improves access to clean water in Africa, Washington D.C., Oct. 21, 2008

This thaw -- took a while to thaw, it's going to take a while to unthaw." -- George W. Bush, on liquidity in the markets, Alexandria, La., Oct. 20, 2008

"I didn't grow up in the ocean -- as a matter of fact -- near the ocean -- I grew up in the desert. Therefore, it was a pleasant contrast to see the ocean. And I particularly like it when I'm fishing." --George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Sept. 26, 2008

"What was the question? I’m 62, I’m having trouble remembering a lot of things." -- George W. Bush to a journalist at a press conference in Washington, D.C., July 15, 2008

"I think it was in the Rose Garden where I issued this brilliant statement: If I had a magic wand — but the President doesn’t have a magic wand. You just can’t say, low gas." -- George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., July 15, 2008

"Amigo! Amigo!" --George W. Bush, calling out to Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi in Spanish at the G-8 Summit, Rusutsu, Japan, July 10, 2008.

A Plaque on All Their Houses
By Dana MilbankFriday, January 16, 2009; A03
It seemed at first as if a prankster had hacked his way into the White House e-mail system.
"Ceremony to Commemorate Foreign Policy Achievements," said the advisory from the White House Office of Presidential Advance.
Two wars, the brink of global depression, and violence from Mumbai to Gaza? Par-tee!
With fanfare, they walked into the gilded Benjamin Franklin Room of the State Department yesterday: President Bush, the first lady, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Rice's deputy, John Negroponte. They had come to praise great people. Namely, themselves.
Rice presented Laura Bush with a framed "Certificate of Appreciation." Then she presented Bush with a "commemorative plaque." And another commemorative plaque, which, like the first, was sheathed in a gold curtain. Finally, she had an honor guard present her boss with five flags in nifty triangular boxes.
"Mr. President, we've been through a lot together," Rice told Bush.
"We've been through a lot together," Bush told Rice.
"Mr. President, history's judgment is rarely the same as today's headlines," Rice assured Bush.
"History will say that Condi Rice was one of the great secretaries of state our country has ever had," Bush assured Rice.
Bush hung a Presidential Medal of Freedom around the neck of Ryan Crocker, his ambassador to Iraq. Everybody stood to applaud, and the president left to a Sousa march.
As one might expect of a Ceremony to Commemorate Foreign Policy Achievements of the Bush Administration, it did not last very long. Happily, that left plenty of time to enjoy the many other ceremonies yesterday in which the nation's leaders were celebrating one another.
On the Senate floor, Joe Biden and his colleagues were aggressively exchanging praise. Republican leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) praised Biden. Tom Carper (D-Del.) praised Biden. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) praised Biden. "When people talk about Vice President-elect Joe Biden, they talk about his courage, his family, his remarkable career in the United States Senate," Majority Leader Harry Reid praised.
Biden, in his final speech, praised them back: "The United States Senate has been my life, and that is not a hyperbole," he said. The notoriously long-winded vice president-elect had to stop his speech after 40 minutes -- because it was time to praise Hillary Clinton.
Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) praised the future secretary of state. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) praised Clinton. McConnell praised Clinton. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) praised Clinton. And Clinton, naturally, returned praise. She praised Biden. She praised her staff. And she praised her colleagues, "public servants of both parties who bring their expertise and enthusiasm."
Over in the Russell Caucus Room, the Senate Judiciary Committee was holding what was supposed to be a contentious confirmation hearing for Eric Holder to become attorney general. But even there, the atmosphere soon became celebratory. Republicans swallowed their misgivings and generally gave Holder an easy time. And Democrats laid on the praise. "His record of public service, his integrity, his experience, his commitment to the rule of law merit our respect," Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) announced before Holder had said a word.
"Perhaps the best indication of Eric's excellence," said Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.), introducing Holder, "is that in a very competitive pool of the best and the brightest, he rose to the top like cream in rich milk."
Holder, in turn, praised his future boss, "a president-elect who is a brilliant constitutional lawyer, a person with a great moral compass."
Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wis.), owner of the Milwaukee Bucks, set the tone for the celebratory questioning of the nominee. Noting that both Holder and President-elect Barack Obama play basketball, Kohl asked the nominee: "In the event, Mr. Holder, he invites you to the gym for a little one-on-one, will you promise us and the American people that you will do everything in your power to defeat him as badly as you can?"
But nobody has been dishing out -- and seeking -- as much adulation as the current president. On Monday, he awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to three world leaders, including former Australian prime minister John Howard (who had taken up residence at Blair House, across the street from the White House, and prevented the Obama family from moving in). To highlight his own praiseworthiness, Bush has released two legacy-burnishing booklets, the 40-page "100 Things Americans May Not Know About the Bush Administration Record" and the 50-page "Highlights of Accomplishments and Results of the Administration of George W. Bush."
Laudatory though they are, pamphlets can't touch the grandeur of a ceremony at the State Department -- and Rice put on a show for her boss yesterday with all the fixings: the crystal light fixtures, the presentation of the colors, the framed medals and flags. With a flourish, the military aide pulled back curtain No. 1 to reveal the first plaque, and curtain No. 2 to reveal the second plaque. "This one shows what you have done to expand the circle of human freedom in the world," Rice announced.
Bush had no awards for Rice, but he did come with praise for her ("She's like my sister") and for himself. "In short, we've made our alliances stronger, we've made our nation safer, and we have made the world freer," he said.
And now he has proof: two commemorative plaques, a handsome boxed flag set, and a certificate for the wife.
