A quickie. Timothy Geithner says he will not serve in the next Obama administration:
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said Wednesday that he does not plan to serve if President Barack Obama wins a second term in November. Geithner said he was confident that Obama would be re-elected but added that he was also "confident that he is going to have the privilege of having another secretary of the Treasury." The comments came in an interview with Bloomberg Television.
Aw, shucks. Maybe Summers will be ready for a second/third act. Plenty of Goldman Sachsers around to choose from.
