I think that people were divesting from our capital markets before Obama, in fact stabalizing the markets is one thing i would give obama credit for. Nobody has defined Obamanomics, sure he wants to end the tax cuts, probably a good idea taxes have been going down my entire life as costs have gone up, but you cant call that Obamanomics.
Cenk may be right that the dollar is crashing, but the story had nothing to do with dumping trillions in foreign markets, it was about an investor buying gold.

the dumping trillions in the markets.  Actually, Obamanomics sounds better than Geitneranomics.  Obama is not an economist, that much is obvious.

A jobless recovery is an oxymoron.

Paying unemployment money and teachers salaries is not stimulus, that's maintaining status quo.

Transferring American wealth to banks is just plain dumb.

Don't waste your vote, vote Green or Independent in the next election.

Here is his bio...

Timothy Franz Geithner (pronounced /ˈɡaɪtnə ;r/; born August 18, 1961) is an American economist, banker, and civil servant. He is the 75th and current United States Secretary of the Treasury, serving under President Barack Obama. He was previously the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Or maybe he just has his priorities screwed up.  He forgot that when he took his oath of office that he stopped working for the banks.

Don't waste your vote, vote Green or Independent in the next election.
