The "end game" memo from Larry Summers.

[Divernan]

21. The valid, overwhelming objections to Summers have been laid out for Obama for MONTHS

And yet Obama continues to push for Summers for this post. Summers has just canceled all his Citibank involvements in anticipation of the announcement of the choice for Fed. Reserve Chairman.

You are in denial on this matter, plain and simple. You've watched Obama appoint more and more Wall Street insiders, while insisting Obama is looking out for the working people. Meanwhile the stock market soars and Big Bank profits and executive bonuses are at all time record highs.......while working family incomes have dropped 4.4 percent.
Here are some of the comments from Huff Post - they reflect my opinion:

Deals have been made and Promises must be kept, Obama will be one of the wealthiest Ex-Presidents of all time! Oh, and sorry if you thought I was talking about promises to the American people.

This is the kind of choices that doesn't distinguish the Dems from the Reps. They have grown closer together in every way and use topics like gay marriage and abortion to distract the public from seeing how these fabricated topics only camouflage their very real similarities.

Why is Summers still in this list of maybes? We've clearly, over and over again, voiced our desires that he not even be considered for the position? Is this a test by O and the New York Media to see how long it will take for everyone who's spoken with a resounding NO to SUMMERS, to finally give up and give in? If it is, the answer is still HECK NO to Summers. He is not qualified ethically or intellectually(in my opinion) to do this job. He is not what or whom US citizens want in this role. He is not the right choice. PERIOD. How many more times must we speak out on this? Get it over with, Mr. President. Make a decision now!

Mr. Summers can run but he can't hide from his past economic failures. His history is a constant line of failing up. Why Mr. Obama can't bring himself to stop this unending career arc is beyond me. President Obama is possibly the only person in this country that thinks Mr. Summers gave him great advice on economic policy during his first term
