Oh god, my antiperspirant is failing !
There aren't any IRS agents around, are there?
uh-oh, everyone has their eyes on me
HaHaHa! I just let a little air out of my body!!
As Geithner looks on, the President reminds the small business owners that it's rude to throw things at the Treasury Secretary.
"Did I make the Beat 360°pic again?"
yea,i know you mister camera guy. you owe the government 5 bucks! I'm watching you...
If Obama wasnt so damn picky, I have some help here , and not be standing here all by my lonesome. Vetting process, who cares , I got in !!
And now, Mr. Obama?
Because of a technical glitch, president Obama must use the side of Tim Geithner's head as a teleprompter.
Mr. President said: will worsen before improving.
Bernanke,
Someone has to be realistic here!
"I always feel like somebody's watching me.........."
The empty spaces in the photo clearly show that Obama still has key positions to fill in his cabinet.
That guy in the first row seems to know how to fix the banking crisis. From here I can almost read his notes...
When the economy stinks, you smell just as bad...
Secretary Geithner cautiously scans the audience for shoe throwers as President Obama announces plans for stimulus package 2.0
Time outs suck!
All of you who are looking at me to put my popularity down there.
He who laughs last laughs best!
All of you who are looking at me to put my popularity down there.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner spots the AC360 hidden camera and freezes in fear of being caught doing something AC worthy.
Plan, i gotta have a plan. Think Tim Think.
Can anyone pick who is most likely to be the first to leave the Obama Cabinet?
The fundamentals of the economy are whatever we say they are!
Timmy looks like a worried little boy who just stole money out of his daddy’s wallet. Cheer up Timmy.
Don't worry, Timothy. That's just the money you could be saving with GEICO.
I'm three steps from the President. How close are you?
As secretary, when the economy stinks, you smell just as bad...
Timmy looks like a worried little boy who just stole money out of his daddy's wallet. Cheer up Timmy.
And my good friend Tim is here to help you all with your tax returns.
As the President speaks hopefully of a rebounding economy, Geithner contemplates his NCAA bracket.
I hope this economy doesn't mess up St. Patrick's Day!
He`s a tough act to follow,you know.
Is that a shoe in that reporters hand?
I see you out there on AC360.com, trying to think of some clever and degrading caption for this picture; I see you and I know who you are and where you live. Go ahead, DO IT, make my day.
It's safer to stand back a bit ....... I just told him what AIG have planned for St. Patrick's Day celebrations.
That AC360 pic of Mickey Rourke still haunts me, looks like the russian remake of there's something about Mary!
Whoa! You are looking for me???? What do I did? Nothing wrong with me. Thanks!
I really should have used the washroom before this started.
AIG executives will receive $ 165 million in bonuses.
This is good job!
And they say the company needs to bailout!
Me and my shadow, all alone and feeling blue.
Sorry, 3-D glass'es don't work in here, you have to wear the blinders that were passed out at the door.

I see AIG people.
The secretary quickly learns that an angry stare is not enough to stop the small business owners from shooting spitballs in his direction.
Should have gone to the toilet before coming here.It begins to feel pretty critical soon...
I feel like every economist feels at every party we ever attend- lonely.
The dog ate my homework!
Standing from a distance ain't that bad...... last week he had me stand in a corner until I came up with a rescue plan !!
