Classy, Classy White House

Here's Tim 'Tax Cheat' Geithner the Wonderboy, being just awesome:

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner blasted top U.S. financial regulators in an expletive-laced critique last Friday as frustration grows over the Obama administration’s faltering plan to overhaul U.S. financial regulation, according to people familiar with the meeting.

The proposed regulatory revamp is one of President Barack Obama’s top domestic priorities. But since it was unveiled in June, the plan has been criticized by the financial-services industry, as well as by financial regulators wary of encroachment on their turf.

Mr. Geithner told the regulators Friday that “enough is enough,” said one person familiar with the meeting. Mr. Geithner said regulators had been given a chance to air their concerns, but that it was time to stop, this person said.

The specific phrase was "Stop your f***ing turf wars!" Nice.

And boy, does this just make you proud to be an American, or what?



There was a translation error, but still...this is just great for our international image, isn't it?


All the King's men reflect the views of the king...

There's my two cents.
