Chris Donovan (@chrisdonovannbc) December 02, 2012Oh, dear. Someone sure needs to get out of his bubbles sometimes. Resilient? If by resilient he means massive layoffs, hiring freezes and business closures. Sadly, Timothy ‘TurboTax’ Geithner only pokes his head out of the bubble long enough to make the Sunday show spin rounds.
A LOT of tax/spend/debt to sell. MT @ThinkTankedWaPo: Did I mention Timothy Geithner is appearing on FIVE of Sunday talk shows? #FiscalCliff—

Oh look Tim Geithner is all over the TV this morning. Curious what YouTube video hes going to blame for the fiscal cliff talks breaking down—

And, Twitter users weren’t impressed with his bumbling incompetence.
IF YOU HEARD TREASURY SECRETARY TIM GEITHNER ON FOX NEWS SUNDAY YOU HEARD A SPUTTERING FOOL.—

Geithner is a double talking lying ass. Embarassed he is the Secretary of the Treasury. He showns zero intellect on our economy.—

Indeed. Feast your eyes on some gems from Geithner.
On ABC's "This Week," Geithner say ball is in GOP's court to respond to Administration's "fiscal cliff" proposal.—

Remember, it was Geithner who went before the House Budget Committee & said they didn't have a plan, they just didn't like the Republican's.—

Since Twitter users are givers, they helpfully come up with some more delusional nonsense for Geithner to spout.

And this Twitter user is calling Geithner’s bluff.
Geithner says Obama will take country over the cliff..I say make him prove it.—
S.M (@redsteeze) December 02, 2012
Obama’s plans will cause us to plummet over a cliff regardless. But, hey, at least he has plenty of time to insert himself in yet another biography. Historic!
