Since I'm pretty sure that only 10% of the country knows what the treasury secretary does, I invalidate this poll.

I donut understand how it can be his fault considering the amount of time he has been in this job. :/ halp?

Geithner was head of the New York Fed, the one closest to Wall St, since 2003, when Bush was president. And he did such a damn fine job....

OpenLeft has a petition to replace Geithner with someone who actually acts like a progressive: https://secure.openleft.com/page/petition/firelarryandtim

I blame the bonuses on his gigantic elongated head.

Ignoring the women not inclined to math comment, there are many problems with Summers. Along with Geithner he has been a little too cozy with Wall Street.

Not ignoring the comment, Summers can go fhimself.

Actually, I think Geithner should go, too.

He was head of the New York Fed under Bush, since 2003, and is too wedded to Wall St., seems too beholden to them, to be of any use in cracking down on them.
