RAW VIDEO - Geithner Tells Euro Leaders: "U.S. Politics Are TERRIBLE"

The audio and video was not supposed to be released publicly.  Start watching at the 25-second mark for the comments from Geithner.

United States Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner on Friday addressed European finance ministers and central bankers and talked about 'damage' to the U.S. economy that's being caused by the euro crisis. Part of Geithner's speech to finance ministers was accidentally released by the audiovisual services provided to broadcasters covering the meeting in Wroclaw, Poland. This audio on this video includes the first 1 minute and 43 seconds of Geithner's presentation

Politics in the US are "terrible," says the reigning US Treasury Secretary and former head of the NY Fed, Timothy Geithner. I agree, Mr. Secretary. Q.E.D.

Gaffe: when a politician inadvertantly tells the truth.

Billy Bob...he was happy to tell the truth in private...he did not think his remarks would be broadcast.

So I guess he broke those laws to test the system?  Geez.  Geithner would know, he broke them withouth a sweat.  No jail, fines or public shaming by big media, who had to known?  After listening to your You Tube DB.  It seems as if he was caught on tape or blatently came out with a full public admission of guilt.  The fact the horrible if not scarry fact remains, he never had to answer, or it most certainly seems, he represents a fine point of how to avoid what the comon man cannot get away with. 

As you said, I don't get it.  I hope people will remember this as they do 9/11.  How is it that only people in the finance game know this?  It should have made the front page of every news paper, topic with the mainstream media across the country. 

No wonder the term Sheeple is so comonly used.  We can play the game as long as we know the rules.  I would have laughed at a anyone saying that the were being watched and edited for speaking their mind not so long ago.  Since I can only post, even here for some reason, things that lack an opinion.  That has most definately changed. I can't even do it here withouth going through a ton a bullshit for each post I make.  Were as before I never has problem.  I leave that one with, who knows?

No wonder when I read how some have become to disheartened to a point of F-it forgo even voting.  Even the positive have are fighting to stay so.  You can hear it in the posts.  I could not or would not ever blame either of them. The ones who seem to be fighting with each other over issues they perhaps agree on.  

I grew up plying comprtative sports.  I always believed in the saying, never play another mans game.  As it stands through any viw of how it happened.  Until we have new leadership it remains their game.  

I really hope that changes soon.  For anyone who may have missed this about Tim Geithner.  The short clip. Thanks DB.
