Oldtimer you claimed Obama told Giethner to jerk back the Bail out money if Citibank kept the jet and that was why Citibank sent the Jet back.
BUT BUT BUT
Gibbs was asked today at the press conference, if anything was in the new regulation to force action it this was to happen again and his answer was that the "Name and Shame" that the media did was what got Citibank to send the Jet back and Wells Fargo to cancel the trips. And that he didn't know of any regulations being added to stop it or that would have stopped it better than the Name and Shame the US media was doing. So according to Gibbs the media and public uproar stop Citibank and Wells Fargo not anything Obama or Geithner threatened. :wink:
He was also asked if there was a double standard that Tim Geithner was sworn in but Daschle had to step out due to his Tax problems? Gibbs answer was NO. Then when on to praise the highest ethical standards that Obama has set for his Administration. But Geithner is a Known Tax Cheat running the IRS with 100% support of Obama. Daschle would have been running HHS with Obama's 100% support. :roll: What does that say about the High Ethical Standards of Obama's Administration :???:
