B@B to Larry Summers: You Are A Fucking Idiot
Posted by Jill | 2:03 PM
Now we know that the Obama White House methodology is to close their eyes and say "I DO believe in fairies. I DO I DO I DO!!!"
Later, host George Stephanopoulos told Summers, "President Obama is calling in the heads of some of the country's biggest banks tomorrow to try to get them to lend more to small businesses and consumers, and that seems to be a big failing so far."

Summers defended Obama's attempts to persuade banks to increase lending. "The country did incredible things for the banking industry. Those things had to be done to save the economy, but no major bank would be intact, in a position to pay bonuses, if that extraordinary support had not been provided. The bankers need to recognize that. They need to recognize that they've got obligations to the country after all that's been done for them, and there is a lot more they can do, and President Obama is going to be talking with them about what they can do to support enhanced lending to customers across the country. We were there for them. And the banks need to do everything they can to be sure they're there for customers across this country."

Don't sit up late waiting for that to happen, Larry. You don't want to be drowsy at work tomorrow as you continue to fiddle while the middle class burns.
