Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy F.
Geithner revealed something in a new memoir that has caught
the public’s attention. In 2009, shortly before his first round of
interviews as Treasury secretary on the Sunday morning television
circuit, Geithner endured a prep session administered to him by Dan
Pfeiffer, then the senior adviser to President Obama. Pfeiffer
instructed Geithner to suggest to the American public that Social
Security is operating in the black and thus is not a contributing
cause of the ballooning federal deficit. He stated that the
president needed that message to go out to his base as a “dog
whistle to the left.”
Did Pfeiffer ask Geithner to lie? The secretary apparently
thought so—and this requested deception is telling, writes Andrew
Napolitano. The Geithner allegations bring to sharper focus the
litany of Obama administration lies.
