When a pitcher gets tired, starts throwing walks or being hit, most attentive managers take him out of the game. When policies fail, as in the case of the security system that didn’t work to spot the alleged Christmas bomber, the President starts acting tough with bluster about the buck stopping here and orders to straighten out a failed system.

But when tens of thousands of workers, once again, lose their jobs, the people responsible get winked at, not wanked. The President is contrite, his rhetoric subdued, even as the recovery he keeps talking about goes south.

Yes, there needs to be a cabinet shake-up. It’s time to yank tiny Tim Geithner from the game along with advisor Larry Summers. Their pro-bank, pro-Wall Street policies are failing. Isn’t it obvious?

The Establishment will lean towards a Republican to replace him like FDIC Chairman Sheila Bear who has proven to be far more competent and outspoken than her counterparts.

Geithner is a Trilateralist toadie, a servant and stalking horse for the people responsible for the meltdown. It’s time to say “sayonara,â€

I'm all for firing him, but seriously, will it really do any good? Change anything?

We all understand that he's nothing more than a fall guy anyway, he's already gotten his mitts on untold amounts of American taxpayer money and whatever dirty money he's paid to do what he does, and even when he's gone, he's never truly going to be out of it.....he's still going to be working behind the scene and thieving all the way.

He NEEDS to be arrested is what he needs. This entire corrupt and criminal enterprise is never going to be taken down until it's yanked out by the roots. Start arresting the lower level minions and they're going to start talking in order to cut deals for lesser sentences.

i heard a report when chris dodd said he would not run for office again.
that he might be in line to replace Gaithner

now thats like the fox guarding the chicken coup
