Yes Paulson was the head of Treasury but Geithner as head of the NY Federal Reserve was completely immersed in the negotiations of the bail out of AIG. He worked closely with Paulson on the first round of the bailouts and that in fact was one of the main reasons the Obama administration stated that no one other than the tax cheat could handle this crisis. It was his very experience with negotiating the AIG bailout that the administration used to justify ignoring his crimes or incompetence (you pick whichever you prefer)! There is no way for Obama to distance his administration from this. But again, we are allowing the politicians to change the focus from the real outrage, the $20B that went to foreign banks, the money to Goldman, etc. That is the real tragedy here and Geithner's incompetent hands are all over it.

Hound, you really need to expand your source of news because you will never get the truth about this administration from the mainstream media or the netroots.
