Could it be time to vote this man out of office?

Sen. Rand Paul (R‑Ky.) announced Wednes­day his plans to intro­duce a vote of no con­fi­dence in Trea­sury Sec­re­tary Tim­o­thy Gei­th­n­er.

Paul’s announce­ment high­lights grow­ing con­sen­sus on the Repub­li­can side of the aisle that Gei­th­n­er deserves some pun­ish­ment for the down­grade of the U.S. cred­it rat­ing from AAA to AA+ by the firm Stan­dard & Poor’s on Fri­day.

In many ways the idea of a man in charge of the trea­sury that has like­ly presided over the worst admin­is­tra­tion of the US econ­o­my since 1929, is an idea that may be time for action, in many ways, the prob­lems we have faced are seri­ous and we need to find a solu­tion to these prob­lems. 

It is obvi­ous that the plan of hope and of change has not worked…

It is obvi­ous that the time for action is now…

We need to go back to the con­gress and pass a bill that address­es the prob­lems we have or this is just the begin­ning of what will hap­pen next.

It is time for Gei­th­n­er to go, in fact he has indi­cat­ed, (alleged­ly) that he wants to go, so why not let him go, its time man do the right thing.

“The stock mar­ket gave a vote of no con­fi­dence to Tim­o­thy Gei­th­n­er yes­ter­day and for the past 11 days. Gei­th­n­er has shown no acu­men in pre­dict­ing, diag­nos­ing, or treat­ing America’s eco­nom­ic woes. The time has come for him to resign,” Paul said in a state­ment released Wednes­day.
