Timothy Geithner claims the White House wanted him to mislead the American people about Social Security on the Sunday talk shows

  Timothy Geithner has a new book coming out and in this book he had the following to say:

“I remember during one Roosevelt Room prep session before I appeared on the Sunday shows, I objected when Dan Pfeiffer wanted me to say Social Security didn’t contribute to the deficit. It wasn’t a main driver of our future deficits, but it did contribute. Pfeiffer said the line was a ‘dog whistle’ to the left, a phrase I had never heard before. He had to explain that the phrase was code to the Democratic base, signaling that we intended to protect Social Security.”

  Basically, the White House wanted Timothy Geithner to downplay the role Social Security played in raising the deficit. While he admits Social Security does play a role it was not a major role, but it was still a factor in the deficit that the Obama regime wanted to downplay on the Sunday talk shows.

  This sounds quite familiar, doesn’t  it? It seems as though there is a pattern developing…..
