Obama second choice to head the United States Treasury
Hello
I wonder who Obama has picked as his Second choice to head the United States Treasury? ----------------------------------------------- http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090114/...easury_nominee WASHINGTON - A top Senate Republican is blocking a quick hearing for Timothy Geithner, President-elect Barack Obama's pick to head the Treasury Department, after learning that Geithner had failed to pay $34,000 in taxes. Senate Democrats are seeking a hearing for Geithner on Friday before the Finance Committee. That would skirt rules requiring a full week's notice before scheduling such a session. An aide close to the confirmation process says that Sen. Jon S. Kyl of Arizona, the No. 2 Republican on the committee, has objected to a fast track for Geithner. If the GOP refuses to drop its objection, Geithner won't be confirmed until after Obama is sworn in as president on Tuesday. Geithner has now paid the taxes he owes. |

Obama second choice to head the United States Treasury
Why not just out-source it to a pick pocket in India?

He was just on his way to put his check in the mail when he suddenly found out about that potential Treasury position. |
