In my opinion, Obama\u2019s worst appointees of his Presidency have been the Three Blind Mice: Ben \u201cBankster Boy\u201d Bernanke, Larry \u201cSo Wrong\u201d Summers, and \u201cTimmy the Tool\u201d Geithner.  He should have kept his economic team for campaign 2000, instead of adopting Hillary\u2019s.  He could not make a bigger mistake than to pick either of the other two to replace Bankster Boy at the Fed.  Especially when he has an excellent alternative in Janet Yellen.<\/font><\/p>\n

Whoever said "What you don’t know can’t hurt you" doesn’t know much about economics.  That goes double for the nomination of Lawrence Summers to head the Federal Reserve. For all the ink that’s been spilled on the topic, there’s at least one surprise ending people don’t seem to be considering. <\/p>\n

Remember the last time Summers was strapped to a trial balloon and exposed to this kind of a public dart-throwing contest? It was back when Obama was searching for his first Treasury Secretary. There was a public outcry against Summers then, too, and guess what happened: <\/p>\n

We got Tim Geithner instead. <\/p>\n

I’m against the Summers nomination too, but as they say: Be careful what you wish for\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Chris Hayes compared Summers and Yellen, but he missed the possibility of Geithner. <\/font><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve already learned my opinion of hiring Summers: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!<\/strong> Let me add my opinion of hiring Geithner: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!<\/strong> We already have one of the three blind mice at the Fed now. The last thing we need is either of the other two.<\/font><\/p>\n

Yellen works for me, but if not her, here is how Obama should make that choice. He should say, "Lizzie, whom should I hire?" Then he should pick whomever Elizabeth Warren tells him to hire.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
