If you had a chance to catch Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner's interview with Chris Wallace on FOX News Sunday yesterday then you heard Mr. Geithner say, not once but twice, that a deal on the debt ceiling had to get done quickly so that "we can get Congress back to business in trying to figure out how to make the economy stronger in the short term and get more Americans back to work." Anyone or anything missing from this statement? How about any mention of the President or the White House? Mr. Obama never fails to remind us that these two items, improving the economy and jobs for Americans, are uppermost on his mind from the time he awakes in the morning to the time he lays down at night. Yet here, his own Treasury Secretary, a most trusted member of his cabinet, on national television, reveals to the world that those problems are not regarded as responsibilities of this president, but are in fact those for Congress to solve. How's that for presidential leadership?
