Geithner is a family tie. His Father worked with Obamas stepmother in Indonesia.

At least Bill Richardson pulled his name when there was some problem. So we have already gone from some 'semblance of fair play to ram 'em through, chicago style.

I really had hopes that O would tell his nominees that if they did anything illegal or sleazy that reflected on the job that they were OUT. Next nominee. Would have been a nice first step to show he was cleaning up Washington.

Personally I'd have picked Bill Seidman.
