Tim Geithner: The White House Asked Me to Mislead the Public

[whell]

Government press conferences are not exactly events where full disclosure takes place. There's spin, there's half truths, there's deference and talking points. But specific and intentional deception is quite another matter. I'm not so sure that this particular reference from Geithner's book rises quite to that level. However, it does confirm something that I've always suspected: folks on the left do respond to "dog whistles".
