Geithner Corruption Qualifications

Why Are the Media Protecting Geithner?

AIM Column | By Cliff Kincaid | January 14, 2009

Our media have quickly adopted the new party line. The NBC Nightly News dutifully reported Geithner’s “honest mistakes” in the graphic it showed on Tuesday night in a story about the serious tax problems. Officially, the Obama team calls them “tax concerns.” But it’s nothing we are supposed to be concerned about, even though he is going to be in charge of the federal department with jurisdiction over the IRS.

There were some holes in the brief NBC News story, which followed a more serious report about cold weather possibly threatening the celebratory atmosphere surrounding Obama’s inauguration. Reporter Kelly O’Donnell’s story failed to disclose that Jeffrey Immelt, chairman and chief executive officer of NBC parent company General Electric (GE), is on the board of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, whose president is Timothy Geithner.

It is also interesting to note that a subsidiary of GE, GE Capital, is getting some of the federal bailout money that Geithner, if he is confirmed, will have a role in managing. Conflict of interest, anyone?

Geithner meets the qualification for the B.. HO Society. You have to have committed enough corruption to be dependent on The Emperor for protection, thus creating an unconditional loyalty to B..HO, not the people of the United States of America. Ever heard of Impeached Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich? Guess who crossed B..HO? Wonder what they have on Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald? Good thing he indited Gov. Blagojevich before exposing B.. HO., or did he? That certainly improved Patrick Fitzgerald's negotiation position, until Eric Holder is sworn in. Wouldn't it be appropriate if Eric Holder isn't confirmed and Fitzgerald is nominated to replace him.

Straight out of the Chicago Playbook. Isn't our Changed Government going to be fun and predictable, but so sad for the U.S.A. B.. HO is running a training class for the less competent Socialist Governments out there. After his coup, the U.S. could have the purest, most corrupt Socialist Government in the world.

Now that's Change you can count on!
