      Maybe it was these comments that just irritated me…

      “This fine lady is F*CK’N brilliant!
      Simply have to LOVE, admire & respect her guys.
      She’s got this dude pooping in his brooks”

      There’s many more people finer than that woman.

      “South Africa, Israel & most global governments” - WTF?

      triwillb ~ In other words, she’s doing her job thoroughly, as is her reliable & efficient team. He on the other could’ve answered her legitimate & pertinent questions with much ease & speed, had he been prepared to reveal the truth, as opposed to giving much thought on how to side-step & avoid answering without making it too obvious. He knew precisely what was been asked of him & of course he knew the answers, but also knew that they weren’t those which many would appreciate learning.

      if you did some of your own research on geithner, instead of being manipulated by the media, you’d find that he’s an incredibly talented financial strategist who knows exactly what he’s doing.

      an unfortunate side-effect of geithner’s long-term financial strategy is that it is galling to the public in the short term.

    5. triwillb Says:

      it’s incredibly easy to put someone under pressure when you have a set of prepared and rehearsed questions sitting in front of you - especially if they’ve been compiled by your team.

      and it’s a very unpredictable and uncertain situation if you’re in the hot seat.

      AWESOME!
      South Africa, Israel & most global governments need a lady of this calibre, intelligence & guts working FOR & protecting their citizens, who after all, pay their salaries to do just that!

      and don´t let them drag you into more wars now, that would be their predictble desperate move. you don´t want to die for the sake of the financial maffia.

    12. Casar1973 Says:

      Wrath? Where is the wrath? If this was France temples would be on fire. America doesn´t seem to show any wrath, they seem to be ok with being looted and having their futures destroyed by financial terrorists. They have imposed more damage than any other so called “terrorist” could accomplish.

      “Goldman Fueled AIG Gambles” … Wall Street Journal, Dec 12, 2009 … This articles details how Goldman Sachs was he main cause of the economic collapse.

      When do we line these fkwads up in front of a firing squad?

    16. smujismuj Says:

      I hope to see Geithner hanging by his greedy neck until he is dead…after a fair trial.

    17. psnsam Says:

      Obama is Goldman Sach’s lapdog!!! He is here to screw us all and make money from the Presidency.

      Obama = liar. Obama = corrupt politician from Chicago.

      Obama has as much integrity as Oprah.

    18. Relugus Says:

      The very fact these people went into Wall Street BEFORE entering government proves they are not serving the people.
      There is massive conflict of interest in a banker running the treasury.
      Goldman were bound to emerge as winners as they have so many of their people in government fiddling the rules to benefit Goldman.

    19. rocktheflow Says:

      Are you fucking serious!? Open your eyes my friend, there are far too many coincidences for Goldman Sachs to be “innocent” in any way, shape or form.

      hey all those horny smelly repulsive malepedophiles CEO’s at goldman sacks need to get their balls cut off their stealing the money from american works and raping our vwomen

    22. billford123 Says:

      How do these people get elected? So sick of all these useless witch hunts. Maybe Goldman is involved because they produce the most qualified candidates to fix this mess. Goldman did the right thing, that is why they are still alive! Move on people.

      I only made a comment on what I heard the man say, period.
      If that makes me illiterate, you are sadly mistaken.
