Geithner Says Obama Will Do ‘What Is Necessary’ to Fix Economy

By Rebecca Christie and Robert Schmidt

March 10 (Bloomberg) -- Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said the Obama administration will do “what is necessary” to fix the faltering U.S. economy.

Geithner, speaking in an interview from Washington with Charlie Rose scheduled to air tonight on PBS, also said that Wall Street boards of directors “made things worse” by continuing to pay large bonuses to executives even as banks fell apart.

While the Treasury chief said the U.S. is in a “deepening recession,” he said President Barack Obama will be aggressive in trying to find a solution to end the crisis.

“It is our obligation to clean it up and to fix it,” Geithner said. “We’re going to keep at it.”
