Well, don't let the door hit you in the ass Timmy.
It appears that Timothy Geithner has had the lick, and is sick to death of the mess that he helped create. According to Bloomberg, he is now signaling the White House that he's throwing in the towel and calling it a day.
How about some real change, President Obama? This is your chance to appoint Elizabeth Warren as Treasurer, and make the Republicans heads explode.
More below on the 'poor Timmy, he's tired and needs a rest,' story.
Geithner, 49, has told associates he needs a break from government service after dealing with the turmoil that followed the collapse of Wall Street firms, including Bear Stearns Cos. and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., first as president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and then as Treasury secretary.
Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner has signaled to White House officials that he’s considering leaving the administration after President Barack Obama reaches an agreement with Congress to raise the national debt limit, according to three people familiar with the matter.
Geithner hasn’t made a final decision and won’t do so until the debt ceiling issue has been resolved, according to one of the people. All spoke on condition of anonymity to talk about private discussions.

Geeeeeeeeeeee, I wonder where he will go to work next? Can anyone say Goldman Sachs?
And why am I getting the uneasy feeling in my stomach, that is telling me President Obama, will appoint one of his 'Savvy Businessmen,' friends?
Shit, never let a good disaster go to waste, I guess.
I know this isn't much of a diary, but is sure is interesting news to get out there. I'd appreciate knowing your thoughts on the subject, and who you would like to see as the new Treasurer under President Obama.
Thanks as always.
