Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has told President Obama he plans to remain in his job through the fall of 2012, keeping in place Obama's longest-serving economic adviser after the first-ever U.S. credit downgrade and renewed fears of a second recession.

Geithner, who has been battling financial crises since 2007 as a top Federal Reserve official and then Treasury secretary, considered leaving the administration after Congress raised the federal debt ceiling and reached an agreement with Obama to tame the national debt.



What? Not 2013? Maybe Geithner feels that commiting to anything beyond the end of 2012 would be a moot point.

I think it's pretty obvious, don't you?

Geithner acknowledges the end of the world will occur in 2012.

So you think the Mayans saw Obama's re-election win?

Notice how close 'Mayan' is to 'Muslim'?

Yep, it all adds up.

I'm guessing you mean Geithner and not Obama.. though that might be a presumption on my part.

Is it a coincidence that they both start with "M" and "M" is the THIRTEENTH letter in the alphabet?

I don't think so.

Well the thread is about Geithner so your presumption is correct.

Well you used the term "fool", so you understand my confusion.
