The job of the Treasury Secretary is a real balancing act.
Sir, you are going too much to the left. Americans want us more in the middle.
Tim G: I am dancing ballet right now with Mr. Wang Qishan. I wish I can dance ballet!
NO! This way. You're heading towards the exit.

No, come back! We need more money!
"Mr. Premier, it goes like this... You put your right hand in you put right hand out....[premier walks away] i guess this mean you're not getting lunch? "
Geithner singing (for Qishan):
"The way you make me feel...
You really turn me on...
You knock me off of my feet...
My lonely days are gone...."
I love China 'this much'.
Geithner: If you thought Katie Holmes was good, watch this!
"Please come to the meeting, I promise to lay off the Wang jokes"
Tough crowd...Qishan leaves Geithner's performance to twitter with Rick Sanchez
I've got to learn their language!!!!
"I'm sorry you didn't like the Wang Chung joke, please come back"
Secretary Geithner's reach exceeds his grasp.....
"two priest walk in a bar – HEY! HEY! where you going?"
Vice Premier Wang Qishan mistakes U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner for a Nigerian prince scammer after Geithner explains to Qishan how China's various continued 'investments' will yield great riches and wealth in return once turmoil has subsided in the Treasure Secretary's native country.
Timothy Geithner mistakenly thought he was attending the Dancing With The Stars tryouts.
Shortly after Tim Geithner shows off his Tai chi / Quigong / Chinese exercise moves for the Chinese delegation, they give him 1.5 /10 for really bad feng shui.
"I feel pretty...oh so pretty!"
"You put your left foot in and you shake it all about...you do the hokey pokey..."
I will not pretend that I'm seeing!
The American wants to dance with me in full meeting!
To welcome to to the country, Geithner shows Qishan how to do the stanky leg.
You take the high road, I'll take the low road.
If you act now, we will give you two treasury bonds for the price of one.
For the last time: All this is MY personal space!
Look Mr. Wang! I'm an airplane.
Whoa! I can't believe the enconomy is still so out of balance!
Timothy Geithner tries to play a friendly game of freeze tag with Wang Qishan.
Hey Wang,
come get your hands dirty and see how easy it is to do this job.
I 'm sexy & a cutie! ....i'm in charge of all the booty!!!
Not knowing what to do next, Geithner dances around the issues.
"I believe i can fly! I see that man running toward that open door..!"
Premier Wang says: "Go away kid, you bother me".
Now, if my super stretch powers would just work outside the realm of budgeting....
Timothy fails to impress with his latest Tai Chi moves.

Hey , Let's Hold Hands and Sing
We Are The World We Are The People
"Hey! Simon said freeze...you lose Qishan."
Moderator, do we can put link?
There are two comments with a link.
"We're in the money..." sings Treasury Secretary Geithner
I put my right hand in, and hope that the Chinese buy more of my treasury securities... That's what it's all about.
Timmy gets confused and strikes a yoga pose while meeting with the Chinese – too bad his meetings with India aren't until next week.
"Are we getting any reception yet?"
"We need to borrow this much"
Gerard Marshall, Las Vegas Nevada
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is showing everyone how he spends American's tax dollars...ballet lessons !!!
Ok Mr. Geithner – we can forward this picture to the producers of Dancing with the Stars... But I think they are going to want to actually see you dance.
" Wang, this is the part where we hold hands and sing 'A New Argentina'"
Yes, I would love to dance with Anderson, when will he come to interview me. The Chinese are not open to dancing with me
Forget Palin, If things don't improve soon, I may have to leave office with 'this much' left in my term!
"Could someone give me an invisible hand, here? I'm stuck in a recession!"
Geithner:
"Wait Mr. Qishan, please! Who will give us the money if you leave?"
