Did Geithner and Summers just get the hook?

[speedracer]

Much is being made of Geithner and Summers not getting a mention in the press release Obama just dropped regarding the banking reforms he just introduced today. The fact that Volcker (definitely not on the same page as the other two) got top billing while the others nuttin does seem to suggest it.

I can't find the pictures now, but the AP has a couple of em from the presser Obama just did. Volcker's got a huge grin and Summers looks like he's gonna puke.

If you are correct, that would be the best news (politically) that I have heard all week. I am tired of the revolving door. Bankers become politicians and the reverse.

It's cool. Now that the supreme court ruled to allow corporations to finance any candidate without any limits or restraints, I'm sure the corporate/government collusion will grind to a halt.

The market will correct itself.

Are there still limitations on private individuals endorsing candidates x days before an election?

Maybe they'll make it so only American companies can sponsor Presidents.

It's Hardees here. We can't have that now, can we? The President's sponsor must be unified under one, giant corporate California Cheeseburger.

I'm guessing John Edwards was sponsored by In-N-Out.
