Are Geithner’s Days Numbered? Andrew Leonard thinks so. (See here. Also here.) Geithner’s political tone-deafness is becoming a serious liability to Obama. The problem with replacing him, as I have said earlier, is finding someone who is qualified, confirmable and not connected to Wall Street. Given that half the top political appointees at Treaasury are still awaiting Senate confirmation, I think Obama may be stuck with Geithner no matter how low his stock falls. Is there a potential replacement who has paid his taxes, has populist leanings, knows Wall Street but isn’t part of it, who wouldn’t be filibustered by the Republicans? I’m sure Obama would welcome suggestions.
