Someone Please Tell Barack Obama and Tim Geithner to Just Shut Up!

It seems to me that every time either of those two opens their mouths, the market starts dropping.

Today it looked like we were supporting a huge continuing rally from yesterday.  Then Huey and Louie held a press conference confirming to the American Investing public that they were committed to stimulus and reform.

You could almost watch the market drop with every vowel uttered, tick-by-tick.

Is Timothy Franz Geithner dusting off his resume’?

A comment made by Gary Brunison(sp) of Korn/Ferry this morning on Squawk seemed to hint that he had been contracted to perform a professional search to fill the Sec of Treasury position.

Maybe Gary was joking, but it does make you dream of better and bigger days ahead of the market.

Tim was confirmed on January 26, 2009, as the US Sec of Treasury by a vote of 60–34.  In a statement to the Senate panel considering his nomination, Geithner called his tax issues "careless," "avoidable" and "unintentional" errors.

The Internal Revenue Service is a child agency of the Treasury Department he now oversees.

That is the the guy I want doing my taxes.

Months ago we heard that the only way to survive in the new economy was to get a government job.

I’m sending my resume’ into Korn.  It couldn’t hurt.  Somehow I feel overqualified.
