...is a real piece of work. Among other things, he was president of Amalgamated Bank Of Chicago, Midwest Chairman of J.P. Morgan Chase, and he sits on the board of directors of Boeing, and Merck & Co. He oversaw the creation of NAFTA. He helped run Gore's disastrous 2000 presidential campaign. He once told the Wall Street Journal that he felt that there was no need for a consumer protection agency in the financial reform bill, since he felt that there were enough protections in place.  *

In short, he's not only a right-wing bank mogul who cannot be trusted with the power given to him, he's also incompetent.

He will be replacing Pete Rouse, who himself replaced Rahm Emanuel, another man known for his conservative bent.

Discuss.

lol no. Just because a man doesn't wake up praying to the gods of class struggle doesn't make him a right-wing conservative.

So your complaint is that Obama didn't pick somebody else?

Fight smart, not fair.

My complaint is that he chose someone who is quite blatantly the wrong person for the job. The last thing this administration needs is a bankster running things.

Give it time and have faith. I mean, Obama's been pretty good with making all his other decisions, right?

Oh sweet Jesus, we're fucked.

Try again, with less antagonism, y'all. I've never seen an OTC thread hit the crapper so fast.
