Wasn’t Summers Clinton’s Treasury Secretary when the Financial Services Modernization act was passed?
Now he’s Obama’s economic adviser?
His deregulation was the prime cause of the bubble and consequent economic meltdown, and now he has a chance to ‘fix’ the economy again?

I’m just a blue collar guy, but where I come from if you screw up the job that bad, you don’t usually get another chance to run the show. In fact, they’ll probably take away your tools so you don’t hurt yourself.
Fire his incompetent ass.

I try to impart to my students the following: when you are second chair at a deposition, keep your hands on the table. That way, when you fall asleep, your hands and pen will not fall to the floor. You may be able to recover without anyone noticing.

Probably dreaming of the tens of millions he’s going to rake in from his Wall Street pals for services already rendered when he leaves office.

That defense budget is what’s keeping this country safe.

Correct. As long as we keep slush-funding half of it off to Dick Cheney’s offshore account, he won’t destroy the world with his moon laser.

When they aren’t paying taxes, spewing DNA over the oval office, stealing files out of dead friends offices and destroying evidence against their husband, water boarding…

Let me just maek sure I have this straight, (slappy’s other account) – you believe that the Democrats are responsible for waterboarding?

Wow, you must have an educated informed opinion worth listening to.

Hey Tenisci….

“They’ve all been working hard in these crucial first 100 days! I think this new political environment provides a great opportunity to address crucial issues that have been forgotten. The U.S. should be doing way more to address the Millennium Development Goals. The plan to end world hunger has been getting seriously ignored.

$30 billion: Annual shortfall to end world hunger.
$550 billion: U.S. Defense budget.”

That defense budget is what’s keeping this country safe. The U.S. is already supporting most of the world. If we stopped giving food aid, over 100 countries would go hungry immediately. Maybe some other wealthy countries should step it up a little.

I guess there are only so many “economic central planning meetings” one can go to before the boredom hits.

We can only hope that the whole lot of Commies in charge right now fall asleep for the next 3.5 years…

And how much does Summers get paid for his (sleeping) services?

Good one slappy,
No surprise here, just another o’messiah appointee. When they aren’t paying taxes, spewing DNA over the oval office, stealing files out of dead friends offices and destroying evidence against their husband, water boarding or driving off bridges killing people…. they sleep. Besides o, must be asleep too, or he just doesn’t listen very well.
Either way, we get screwed

This man was NOT sleeping. He was ruining highly complex and complicated mathematical equations conjured up by turbo tax cheat Tim Geithner through his mind calculating how much longer he needed this silly job so he could retire to the Hampton’s. Which was much more important than anything anyone else in the meeting would have to say.

Come on everyone!

We’re HUMANS. Terribly flawed and we all make mistakes! I think it’s great that TP pokes fun at it. We expect perfection, which isn’t possible, especially in today’s bright 24 hour spotlight.

OT: Go Sharks!

Who does Summers think he is, Cheney?

Frankly, this is embarrassing, and if he felt that tired, then he needed to grab some Red Bull – but this display should warrant a private conversation with the president.

So you use the conservative call-in’s in the morning as a loud-as-can-be alarm clock? :)

How did you know? Washington Journal is my alarm clock. But at least sane people call in also. Tried watching Morning Joe. He just kept making me pissed off.

In his defense, he’s probably not getting a lot of sleep lately.

I can’t blame him. I keep C-Span on all night and Obama’s voice always puts me to sleep. I feel safe, secure, and soothed especially after the last eight years.
