Liberal Bloggers Get Secret Session with Geithner

Joe and I just met with Treasury Secretary Geithner
It was pretty fascinating, and there's not much we can tell you about it because Treasury wanted the entire meeting with Geithner, and most of the rest of our time at Treasury, on deep background. Meaning, we could use everything we were told, but could never attribute it to anyone, anywhere. So, if I learned a fact at the meeting, I could mention it some day in passing, but couldn't say how or why I know it.
The meeting was the second time, I'm told, that Treasury has invited a group of bloggers to meet with some of the senior staff and the Secretary (second time?) It took place in the Treasury building next to the White House, and it included around 18 bloggers. I know I'm going to leave someone out, but those I could recognize (or read their name plates) included: Faiz and Amanda at ThinkProgress, John Amato at Crook & Liars, Duncan Black of Eschaton, Sam Stein, Shafein Nasiripour and Ryan Grim of Huff Post, David Kurtz of TPM, Felix Salmon of Reuters, Megan McArdle of the Atlantic, Matty Yglesias of ThinkProgress, Patrick Garofalo of the American Prospect, James Kwak, Joe Sudbay of AMERICAblog and me. From Treasury, among others, were Secretary Geithner, Deputy Secratary Neil Wolin, Assistant Secretary for Financial Institutions Michael Barr, Assistant Secretary for Economic Policy Allen Kruger, and Counselor to the Secretary Gene Sperling. Quite an impressive, high level group.

The colors themselves may be particularly significant.

Progressive liberals are a
Progressive liberals are a lot like Cheney neo-cons - they both love the Fed. Let's throw them in the same boat and see how it sticks. One loves the Fed because it allows for never-ending wars, the other because it enables them to play God and give "entitlements" to their voter base.

Wow, when you think about it, this is actually rather exciting, a badge of honor of sorts. The administration must be thinking past the healthcare issue, looking forward to their next battle.
They know the internet is almost unanimously for a Fed Audit, so they are rallying their biggest internet mouthpieces to start their anti-fed audit propaganda, and to get their stories in line.
You catch the most flac when your over the target, and they see us coming.
That's why I'm glad I visit liberal sites occasionally. This gave us a heads up for what's to come, possibly.
We can't say we didn't see it coming.

Wow, really good point. With the rise in popularity of alternative news sources, and the failing trust in the mainstream media, this can only been seen as an attempt to bring the liberal blog readers into the fold, make them feel important, special, and play them like a fiddle. This is strategic politics.

If you meet with liberals separately from conservatives and tell them all to keep quiet about where they heard it, you can tell each group something different, and they'll never realize it.

FTA:
"The meeting took place in an absolutely stunning room of what is the most stunning federal office building I've seen in all my years. Much of official Washington is kind of old. State isn't exactly a pretty building on the inside, nor is DOD, nor a number of other agencies, and even the White House has parts that are kind of eh. Not Treasury. Stunning building, stunning hallways, stunning meeting rooms. This room was amazing. It's called the Secretary's Conference Room. Huge pendulum clock on the wall. Huge. Wide dark wooden doorways framed in gold. Beautiful etched transoms above the doors, ornately painted ceiling, and a beautiful 200 year old portrait of George Washington on the wall. Simply stunning. You can read more about the room here."
