Washington Times columnist Amanda Carpenter suggests that there are no winners in the AIG saga and that President Obama, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner have been the biggest losers. Ari Melber of The Nation agrees with Carpenter's assertion that the credibility of Obama has suffered but disagrees with Thomas Freidman's New York Times column and Carpenter when they suggest that the loss of Geithner would be bad news.
