Newsbusters


Christina Romer, the former chair of Obama's Council of Economic Advisers on Friday offered a rather strong opinion concerning the announcement by Standard & Poor's that the credit rating agency downgraded America's debt to AA+.

Appearing on HBO's "Real Time," Romer said we're "pretty darn f--ked" (below is transcript)


BILL MAHER, HOST: So, excuse my language, but we used to do a segment on this show called “How F—ked Are We?”

(VIDEO CLIP)

MAHER: I didn’t expect that there. This, just before we went on the air they said our rating got downgraded.


CHRISTINA ROMER, FORMER CHAIR OF THE COUNCIL OF ECONOMIC ADVISERS, OBAMA ADMINISTRATION: So, pretty darned f—ked.

[Laughter and applause]

MAHER: Ooh.

ROMER: I’ve been hanging around Tim Geithner too long.

[Laughter]

MAHER: Why, does he swear like a sailor?

ROMER: Oh, like a seventh grade boy.
