Who is Timothy Geithner and why should you care?
Geithner is on the short list (actually, it could be a long list) of candidates to serve as the nation's Treasury Secretary under Barack Obama.
Our D.C. Economic Policy Examiner notes the importance of the pick, particularly during these difficult economic times.
This report gives the odds on Obama's possible picks, which include some better-known names like Robert Rubin (who's already ruled himself out) and Paul Volcker (and even Warren Buffett - a long shot, but an intriguing person to consider ... of course, he'd take an enormous pay cut).
