(6-29-09) You may have noticed that Secretary of Debt Timothy Geithner is being kept out of sight, as is Economic Non-Advisor Larry Summers. Why? Because they have both stuck their foot in their mouths so many times that the Obama Regime doesn't want to keep putting them out up front. I think what they're doing is that they're protecting the home team, like Geithner and Summers, who are part of Obama's inner circle.

They are being protected against themselves by keeping them away from the media.

Now Fed Chairman Bernanke is increasingly being stuck out front on purpose because they view him as an outsider and they don't know how much political support they want to put behind him for another term.

Bernanke's performance on the Hill last week was probably the best he could do. He looked nervous and he was careful about what not to answer and that also must have come down from the White House.

Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D, Ohio) questioned him but the all powerful Democratic members didn't hammer him and that too must have come down from the White House.
