Comments on: Henry Paulson: Treasury Secretary Or Cheerleader? http://thinkprogress.org/2006/05/31/paulson-cheerleader/ Fri, 27 Nov 2009 00:02:21 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Kathy B http://thinkprogress.org/2006/05/31/paulson-cheerleader/comment-page-1/#comment-658533 Kathy B Thu, 06 Jul 2006 02:33:53 +0000 http://thinkprogress.org/2006/05/31/paulson-cheerleader/#comment-658533 Don't feel sorry for Paulson. He gets to unload a heafty chunk of Goldman Sachs stock tax free, stock he has rarely ever sold. Why else would you leave a job like his with GS? I wouldn't mind having to listen to Bushie if I got to sell millions of dollars of stock TAX FREE! Oh the perks of working for our federal government. Don’t feel sorry for Paulson.

If I were such a failure at my job, that would be an easy decision. There is nothing Mr. Bush can do to gain confidence from anyone in this world except resign.

Isn't Bush a former Yale cheerleader? Paulson may turn out to be effective, time will tell, but the only cheerleader around the White House is 'W'. Give me a B! Give me a U! Give me an S! Give me a f*cking break... Cheerleader?

It just strikes my kinda funny how someone who is supposed to be intelligent could work under these conditions. The ego must be enormous and the pay irrestible.

This NOVA program featured all the leading scientists on the issue including James Hansen the guy who's reports where censored by an former exxon employee in the administration.So in fact what is occuring is the real state of global warming is much worse than we can tell here on the ground because these "particulates bonding with water molecules" in the atmosphere "are creating a mirror effect" sheilding us from the actual state of global warming. Fact: Replace one 75 watt light bulb with a 15 watt fluorescent and you save 500 pounds of coal a year thereby reducing Co2 emmissions as well as mercury dust which is also released from burning coal. Our household has cut our electric bill IN HALF by swithcing all our light bulbs to fluorescent.

I would guess he'll leave if W treats him like he treated O'Neill. Then it could be a lot of fun to see what he sez. Keep tuned. This could be one of the better moments in the W White House. Off the subject, Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY's Harlem), when asked what he thought of W, said, "Well, I really think he shatters the myth of White supremacy once and for all."

Goldman is no place for wimps and to be the head of it takes a lot of negotiating skill particularly with other sizable egos such as the "decider's".
