Geithner contended that the bailout program helped avert a worse financial outcome. Financial conditions have improved, and the economy has finally pulled out of a deep tailspin and is starting to grow again.

In his notification to Congress, Geithner said it will be extended until Oct. 3, 2010, “to respond to an immediate and substantial threat to the economy stemming from financial instability.”

Sounds to me like Timmy is trying to have it both ways.  If conditions have improved, then there shouldn’t be an “immediate and substantial threat to the economy stemming from financial instability.”

Liar, liar, pants on…
