Geithner Says Obama Opposes Depriving Fed of Employment Mandate - Bloomberg

Keep politics OUT of monetary policy....Really - well, then...what the hell has the Obama Administration been doing since taking Office???

U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner said the Obama administration would oppose any effort to strip the Federal Reserve of its mandate to pursue full employment and warned Republicans against politicizing the central bank.

“It is very important to keep politics out of monetary policy,” Geithner said in an interview airing on Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capital with Al Hunt” this weekend. “You want to be very careful not to take steps that hurt our credibility.”"
