to Citi on hold, that's how bad the douchenozzle wanted the position at the FED, and Obama did have him on the list for the FED. I suspect Obama gave Summers a face save and told him forget about it, I'm not picking you so you need to withdraw.

DU does NOT ride off in the sunset again having saved the world. DU didn't save the world, but some of us made our voices fucking heard. I'll tell you what though, DU is a great place to get information on petitions and phone numbers to call.
