Geithner “I’ll be here all week…remember to tip your waitress”

Tax cheat Tim Geithner had them rolling in the aisles in China today as he peddled his lies and distortions.

“Chinese assets are very safe,” Geithner said in response to a question after a speech at Peking University, where he studied Chinese as a student in the 1980s.

His answer drew loud laughter from his student audience

I’d laugh too, if it all wasn’t so terribly depressing.  Like many in Obama’s administration, when he speaks he has a tendency to just make matters worse, rather than better.  For example,

But he added: “The global recession seems to be losing force

A statement that has no actual basis in fact as our worsening unemployment figures will attest.  Barry’s continued spendathon requires a comparable borrowathon, which is unlikely to be forthcoming given the way we are treating bondholders and investors in both Chrysler and GM, as I wrote here.

Geithner said he was hopeful that General Motors Corp and Chrysler would be able to stand on their own feet once they emerge from bankruptcy

Must be some of that “hope” that Barry was selling on the campaign trail.  Read the whole thing at Reuters.

Michelle Malkin has some aids that Timmy might find useful.
