Irony Meter Explodes: Geithner Says European Nations Must Get ‘Fiscal House’ in Order

So says the man who helped President Downgrade get us into our current mess.

Unreal.
Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner said European governments need to get their “fiscal house” in order and provide a financial backstop for economies under pressure.

“What Europe needs to do is to make sure that there’s an unequivocal financial backstop,” Geithner said, according to the transcript of an interview with NBC and CNBC television today. “So there is no doubt in anyone’s mind that those countries have the ability and the will to meet their obligations. That’s essential to managing crises.”
H/T.

Note satisfied with the destruction of the American economy, Timmy Turbo Tax assured his boss he'll be staying on the job. There's still more downgrading to be done, apparently.

Can't blame Turbo Timmy for not quiting.  It's incredibly hard to find a new job during the Obama depression. 

Plus "Obama economic advisor" doesn't look that good on a resume.

Please tell me he was laughed out of the room.

"<span> There's still more downgrading to be done, apparently."  Certainly!  We only lost one notch, after all.  We've still got AA, A, BBB+, BBB, BBB-, BB, B, CCC, and finally R.  Then the whole world will say "Yes, we can!"</span>

Yeah, well Europe doesn't have a fiat currency like we do so their "elites" will have to find a different path to financial ruin.  Like Turbo Tax Timmy, they've got that situation well in hand.

Where are the Republican rat bastards?  Were they playing golf too, again?  This is embarrassing.

All along, in open statements, president downlow and the rainbow affirmative action rangers have eschewed America's exceptionalism, greatness and power. Through whatever means at hand they've worked away at weakening America's armed forces. They know doing it directly wasn't going to fly, so through economic sabotage and the homosexual issue they're trying to do the same thing. It isn't difficult to understand. UN international socialism's final effective enemies are the USA and Australia. And look who's leading us. Affirmative action betas puppeteered by shadow government communists.
