Obama won't accept resignation

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is having a tough week. It's caused Obama to come out and say he wouldn't accept Geithner's resignation even if he submitted it.

It came ahead of a critical week for Geithner, who is expected to unveil his much-anticipated bank bailout plan and flesh out the administration's proposals for financial regulatory reform when he appears before the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee.

While political class praise Obama for sticking behind Geithner... the average joes aren't as kind.

according to Rasmussen, a national telephone survey found that America’s Populists see things from an entirely different perspective. Just 12% of Populists have a favorable opinion of Geithner. Not a very good review from voters.

Rasmussen continues: The findings are especially telling as calls increase for Geithner's resignation following the disclosure that American International Group (AIG) paid its executives $165 million in bonuses after receiving a $170-billion taxpayer bailout to stay in business. Geithner was aware of the bonuses and did little or nothing to stop them.

Why Obama's rating is as high as it is, is still surprising to me. He can't pick a decent cabinet, he makes gaffes that Bush would have been crucified for, according to a gallup poll, Forty-two percent of Americans now say the United States made a mistake in sending troops to Afghanistan, up from 30% earlier this year and establishing a new high... on the heels of rumors Obama will be sending MORE troops (while the percentage of people who thought Iraq was a mistake falls.)
73% of Americans recently polled are unhappy with the state of the nation... after a high on the 20th, Those who believe the economy is getting worse has gone up by a point while those who believe it will get better whent down a point, so the high is starting to go away, the public support for the spendulus bill dropped considerably this month...

yet Obama still seems to have favorable ratings? Are people THAT afraid to speak out against Obama? I mean, his main cabinet picks were people who dodged their taxes, his spendulus bill is officially adding an extra 4 TRILLION dollars to our already large deficit, he and his new administration KNEW about the AIG bonuses back in October... and once he became president he did NOTHING to stop it... He promised to be a President of "Bring em home" peace... yet he's leaving 50,000+ troops in iraq, and putting more troops in Afghanistan...

he has shown the inexperience everyone was worried about...

I mean, COME ON PEOPLE! If this were Bush... he'd have been impeached like yesterday.

Anyhoo... I love the show red-eye on fox news, so when I found this clip thanks to Right Wing Wacko Mom I thought I had to post it here. They're saying exactly what I said about the double standard there is for Obama, especially in the MSM.
