Geithner: Former president of the Federal Reserve in New York, lived in East Africa, India, Thailand, China and Japan


Yeah, these are bright, capable people. But how are you getting that his adminsitration proves he is beholden to an oligarchy? Many of these people are so far out of the mold of what we have ever seen in a cabinet, it is amusing to hear you decry them as part of some oligarchical machine.
Waters is engrossed his usual hyperbole, but Obama's economics team definitely has ties to the oligarchy. This is cause for concern.

Geithner was in charge of overseeing Citigroup and let Citi slip through the cracks.

And you forgot Obama's main economic man Larry Summers. Summers is buddy-buddy with Bob Rubin (Goldman?). And it was Summers who undid Glass-Steagal while working for Clinton. He was a massive de-regulator.

And last but not least, Rahm Immanuel was a billion-dollar investment banker.
