Larry Freakin' Summers?
The Larry Summers who got his ass fired from the Obama Administration's National Economic Council?
Is that the best they can do at this point? I mean, Larry Summers has less credibility than Donald "N/S/E/W of Baghdad" Rumsfeld, fer cryin' out loud!
Or, is this more of that "eleventh-dimensional chess" we heard so much about? I am starting to believe that the Obama Administration IS playing chess - with the American Public. Is Summers just the flavor of the week?
If so, I mean jeez, what a sorry pick.
Of all the people in this administration (like maybe the President or something?) who would trot out this argument, it had to be Larry fucking Summers?
You know why they picked him? because he's boring, more boring than most.
Thats what all this is about, folks: ramming a bunch of shit through Right Now, while the voters are distracted by...
The Holidays!
The voters aren't going to remember the backstabbery we're getting right now come 2012: it'll all be lost in a vast fog of food, family, gift-buying, and tinsel for the average voter (and for those that can't afford these things, screw 'em, say BOTH political parties in this country.)
Larry Summers does not earn a kind portrayal in Richard Wolffe's upcoming "Revival: The Struggle for Survival Inside the Obama White House." According to excerpts that were provided in advance to the Huffington Post, he is cast as manipulative and self-impressed and a routine source of frustration for a team of advisers grappling with a deep and difficult crisis. He fought with his colleagues over policy prescriptions both bold and routine and often played the role of bottleneck to basic reforms.

What a crock: this guy is completely useless. What's next? Is Timothy G-G-G-Goldman-Sachs-Geithner g-g-g-going to come out of his hole and scold us for not being g-g-g-good little consumers and buying lots of holiday g-g-g-goodies?
The best lack all convictions, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity
