Geithner Says 'Ask The Women About IMF Culture' (Video)

This is a very impressive response.  We give him credit.

Tim likely wants the job as IMF chief - $500K per year tax free, he could stay in D.C., he could prove all of us wrong by not going directly to Goldman - you know he wants the job.  And Christine Lagarde is not looking so good now that she's facing prosecution for financial sleaze in France.

When asked by Politico's Mike Allen if he knew about IMF's notorious culture of harassment against women, Geithner said you should ask the women.

Don't forget that Geithner was an 'utter failure at the IMF' according to the Australian PM.

Much as I dislike this guy, I thought he gave a very reasonable sound and appropriate response.

I didn't watch this because Geithner gives me nothing but good morning gaggers. This shithead heads the Treasury and couldn't even price his own house right. Tim Geithner embodies everything that's wrong and cancerous in the U.S. Into a single 5'2" 120-lb frame. The fact is, corporate Americans are turning a blind eye to what they KNOW is wrong in the utterly insane hope that things will work out.

They won't, and no one has a back-up plan.

Are we in Germany? I can't wait to see the fancy uniforms. They got the name right, that's German.

(CNSNews.com) – Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told CNSNews.com on Wednesday that the administration's new $500 million early learning initiative is designed to deal with children from birth onward to prevent such problems as 5-year olds who "can't sit still" in a kindergarten classroom.

Citi seeks to keep $1 billion Lehman collateral

http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/05/26/us-lehman-idUSTRE74P8SB20110526

[snip]

In a filing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York, Citigroup said it was entitled to keep the $1 billion, which it obtained from Lehman in order to continue providing clearing services for foreign exchange transactions.

The trustee overseeing the liquidation of Lehman Brothers filed the claim against Citigroup and its subsidiaries last March, arguing that the $1 billion was obtained under coercion and that the amount should be part of a general asset pool to be divided among creditors in accordance with bankruptcy law.

Citigroup countered in its filing that it is entitled to keep the $1 billion under the Bankruptcy Code's "safe harbor" provisions, which shield certain financial transactions from being included in the creditors' asset pool.
