Still Hold A Grudge Against Geithner? Here's Your Last Opportunity To Piss Him Off Royally Before He Starts Taking Paychecks From Goldman
Rarely are we so lucky as to ascertain what our enemy fears most. Geithner opens his heart of darkness, and we now know how to make him very, very angry, and more than a little bit frightened.

This is really getting good. I have a ton to throw at you in this post, so it'll be easiest to consume as links. First some background.
Elizabeth Warren is the literal inspiration for the CFPA, or as it is now called the CFPB (bureau replaces agency in the acronym). The entire idea came from an op-ed she wrote to the WSJ back in 2007. She has been fighting tirelessly on its behalf since that day. Wall Street and the banking industry are scared to death that she will be named chief enforcer. Tim Geithner and Larry Summers are owned by the banks and so they are fighting her nomination.
Now the good news. The pushback from advocay groups and voters has been off the charts. Pundits, members of Congress and academia are all coming to Warren's defense and demanding that Obama appoint her as soon as possible.
- "Make them vote against this hard-as-nails woman from Oklahoma who grew up poor, and who's tough on big banks," the advocate noted. "Force the vote."
There are 2 petitions up and flying (not just running) as we speak. The first originally had a goal of 100,000 total signatures by July 20 (started on July 16). And they passed that number after 2 days. So the goal has changed to 150,000, and that looks as though it will be passed this afternoon. And these signatures are being delivered directly to the White House and Obama.
Now please sign the 2nd petition:
Please sign both petitions and pass this story on to friends. This is perhaps your last and best opportunity to make a real difference in the life of Treasury Secretary Geithner. After the November elections, his paychecks will likely be coming from Goldman Sachs, so this is your chance to put Warren in charge of the CFPB, and make Turbo's post-government stroll through investment banking not as pleasant as he hopes.
Do this. Then pass it on. Share it with anyone who cares. Try to get your sheeple, clueless coworkers to sign. Tell them it's a petition for 24-hour broadcasting of every season of American Idol.

On Monday, a coalition of groups fighting to reform the nation's financial system formally endorsed Harvard Law professor and bailout watchdog Elizabeth Warren to head the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Americans for Financial Reform, an alliance of more than 250 organizations that has spent the past year advocating for financial reform legislation, said that Warren is the "most experienced, effective and independent person" to serve as the critical first chief of the new agency.
The endorsement comes on the heels of Thursday's Huffington Post report that Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner opposes Warren's nomination, and Friday's statements by a senior White House adviser and top Geithner lieutenants at Treasury that Warren was "well qualified" for the position, yet nonetheless was only one of three top candidates.
AFR includes top labor groups and progressive advocacy organizations with deep ties to the Obama administration, including AFL-CIO and the Service Employees International Union.
"[Elizabeth] Warren has shown a steadfast and tireless commitment to protecting consumers throughout her distinguished career and is without question the best candidate to run the new CFPB," Heather Booth, AFR's director, said in a statement.
"We join many others in encouraging the White House to quickly move to nominate Elizabeth Warren to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau," Booth added.
Some Democratic groups, like the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, announced their support for Warren on Friday. The PCCC even launched an online petition urging President Barack Obama to pick Warren as the chief of the new agency designed to protect consumers from predatory lenders. More than 100,000 people have signed it so far.
"There was some urgency to move forward" on the endorsement, an AFR spokesman said. The group drafted its statement over the weekend, intending to get it out before Monday.
The move may put increased pressure on the White House to select Warren to head the new entity. Consumer advocates and financial lobbyists agree that the first director will have a tremendous impact on the agency that will likely last beyond the director's term. A strong consumer protector will ensure tough consumer protections for years, as the agency's staff and the director's successors will take their cue from precedent; a weak chief nearly guarantees an ineffectual agency that will fall short of the promises advocated by the soon-to-be enacted financial reform legislation.
Sources say Geithner supports one of his top deputies, Michael Barr, for the position. Barr, a former law professor and Treasury Department official during the Clinton administration, has drawn raves from consumer groups for his role in ensuring the survival of the new agency as the financial reform bill made its way through Congress. Though reformers have clashed with Barr on other aspects of the bill, he's widely praised for his efforts on consumer protection.
But the agency is largely Warren's idea. A noted defender of the middle class, she's widely embraced by progressives and Democrats in Congress.
"Elizabeth Warren is a great, great champion for consumers and middle-class families across the country," White House senior adviser David Axelrod told reporters on a Friday conference call. "She has helped inform this effort greatly and what has been done here in many ways reflects something she's been advocating for years and years and years."
Warren introduced the idea for a consumer agency in a 2007 journal article. She's done extensive research on the debt-strapped middle class, bankruptcy and the working poor.
Geithner's spokesman, Andrew Williams, called Warren a "driving force" behind the new agency's creation.
Warren currently serves as chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel, a watchdog created to keep tabs on the federal bailout. Barr serves as Treasury's assistant secretary for financial institutions.
The third candidate, Eugene Kimmelman, is a former top official at consumer advocacy groups Consumers Union, the Consumer Federation of America, Public Citizen. He now works in the Justice Department's antitrust division.
Kimmelman's former employers are part of AFR.

The SEC Launches Investigation Into The Suspicious Timing Of SEC VS Goldman Case
Courtney Comstock
Business Insider
July 23, 2010
Wall Streeters who have wondered about the suspicious timing of the SEC’s case against Goldman ever since it was announced within moments of Obama’s big Fin Reg push will soon have an answer.
The SEC is going to investigate the timing of the SEC’s announcement of its case against Goldman.
First, on April 16, the SEC announced its Goldman case at a market top, just a few hours before President Obama gave a speech kicking off his financial regulation push.
This is insaneFinancial regulation had just become the main topic for Congress to focus on at the exact same time that the SEC announces a Goldman case that destroys any chance Wall Street had to limit regulation.
So a bunch of people noticed that was weird.
And on top of that, by announcing their case on Friday that day, the flux of SEC headlines on the Goldman case squelched the attention drawn to the SEC’s botched investigation of Allen R Stanford.
Then, last Thursday, Goldman announced it would settle with the SEC for $550 million.
Almost at exactly the same time, Congress announced that it signed the new FinReg bill at 3 pm.
At a minimum, there’s a lot of coincidental timing here, so investigators will look into emails that lead up to the timing/decisions.ly coincidental and therefore, suspicious.

As many as five US banks failed to report hundreds of billions of dollars in credit derivatives bought from foreign counterparties during 2009, leaving those risks below the radar of regulators in the US and Europe.
