Peter
Orszag
Gets a Wikipedia write up which does not manage to find space
to let us know that he operated in Russia. This would have been after the
Berlin Wall came down in 1989 and sundry comedians moved in for what was the
world's biggest shake down. That was when the
Oligarchs took Russians for 85% of their assets. They screwed Western
banks big time too. In fact they were not all Jews.
Orszag however was. Now he is helping run Obama and another humungous rip
off.
Perhaps he should get himself a better wig.
Orszag Did Unto Iceland As Well As Russia
He didn't do much good for those he was presumably hired to help.
Orszag Going, Fell Or Pushed? [ 23 June 2010 ]

White House Budget Director Peter Orszag says he's stepping down next month,
positioning him to be the first high-profile member of President Barack Obama's
team to depart the administration.
Orszag confirmed his planned resignation in a brief interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday. He said he views passage of last year's economic recovery act as his most significant accomplishment.
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Tuesday that "a number of very talented candidates" were being considered to replace Orszag.
"Peter has served alongside and within a valuable economic team that has faced the greatest economic crisis any president has faced since the great depression. It is an enormous task," Gibbs said.
As director of the Office of Management and Budget, Orszag holds Cabinet-level rank and a pivotal role in shaping and defending how the administration spends the public's money. He quickly emerged from a bureaucratic post to become a camera friendly face of Obama's government, often in front on plans to confront the deficit and to spur the economy.
Speculation has for weeks held that Orszag would leave this year after a grueling, nonstop sprint as the head of the budget agency and a key adviser to Obama. During his tenure, Congress has passed the most expensive economic stimulus program in U.S. history and a massive health care reform law. Orszag has overseen Obama's first two budgets, too. Gibbs said Orszag decided to leave before work began on a third.
The move comes as Obama continues to face the steep economic challenges of reining in the deficit and rallying support for more stimulative spending. The economic recovery is plodding along but unemployment remains near 10 percent.
Orszag, 41, came to Obama's government from the position of director of the Congressional Budget Office, the agency charged with providing nonpartisan analyses of economic issues to lawmakers. He served during Bill Clinton's administration as an assistant to the president for economic policy and a senior adviser at the National Economic Council.
Orszag's private life has occasionally popped
up in gossip columns. In late December his fiancée, ABC News reporter Bianna
Golodryga, announced their engagement on "Good Morning America." Less than two
weeks later, Orszag and his former girlfriend, Claire Milonas of New York,
confirmed a New York Post report that they had had a baby daughter the previous
November after their breakup.

Not a nice man. Not much of a wig
either. Why is out? The media are not telling.
