That being the case, I bet Barry is still going back and forth on whether it would be good for re-election to step in and proactively fire Geithner. lol
Seems politically foolish to play the blame game right now imo, especially considering (i) a credit downgrade might be the only way to ultimately prevent the debt bubble from bursting, and (ii) voters have been cockslapped to death with partisan arguments and at this point would prefer attempts to rally the nation rather than finger pointing.
