Deserters

Just what the prez needs - a new problem:

"When you ask about the economic team, it's kind of like, 'What economic team?'" said Edward Mills, a financial policy analyst with FBR Capital Markets. "They are very thin at a very critical time."

Only Timothy Geithner remains of his original all-star team. For some reason the others have left, and suitable replacements have not yet been installed.

Of course the original all-star team failed to deliver the promised robust recovery. So a lot of ordinary citizens now see the original all-star team as a bunch of losers.

But when you think of them, don't curse.
They'll tell you: If not for their smarts
and money-printing arts,
the whole disaster could have been much worse.
