Or you did well in school -- and cheated your way all the way through it.

I didn't say a word about Mary Jo White in regards to Stiglitz (I didn't even mention Mary Jo White's name or allude to her in the first place). And, actually, contrary to your B.S., it was probably Luis Aguilar, not Mary Jo White, who likely nominated Stiglitz for the panel.

Also, I mentioned that Obama could have appointed a third party person instead of the Republican Gallagher after you attempted to mislead the board here to believe that Obama had, in fact, already appointed three Democrats to the SEC commission, whereby you further falsely stated that "He (Obama) had to replace Casey with a Republican."

So, if Obama appointed Mary Jo White to the SEC commission as an Independent, then he had the luxury to appoint three, not just two, Democrats to the five-person commission, -- or at least three members, including other "independents", who aren't Republicans. And needless to say, despite your horse$hit, he was under no legal requirement to appoint another Republican in place of whoever preceded Gallagher -- Gallagher now serving his as a SEC commissioner (thanks to Obama) after misusing his earlier stint (under Bush) as SEC chair Cox's chief counsel to impoverish much of the United States.

You know, there is a "self-delete" feature available to all DU members to remove any of their own posts should those posts be self-embarrassing and unintentionally laughable. I suggest you make good use of this feature.

Why are you blaming President Obama for following the law with Gallagher's appointment? msanthrope Jan 2015 #1

Stiglitz should be RUNNING the SEC (or Treasury). Faryn Balyncd Jan 2015 #4
My ideal team would have Krugman at Treasury, Elizabeth Warren running the SEC, tclambert Jan 2015 #12
What would Goldman think? That seems to be the litmus test for decision making on financial policy. pa28 Jan 2015 #10
What would Teddy Roosevelt (or Pres. Sanders or Warren) do? I think they'd put Stiglitz in charge of Faryn Balyncd Jan 2015 #11
