Tim Geithner, president of the New York Fed, will be nominated as Obama’s Treasury Secretary. Some have suggested this isn’t a good idea because of his lack of experience. I actually really like this choice. I can live with the lack of experience (and…
Is this a good idea? Depends on who you are. Barack Obama? Takes her out of the running for his office, but more importantly, quiets a potential voice of dissension within his party. Harry Reid? Jumping with joy that he doesn’t have to cede…
