Is President Barack Obama's administration showing hints it is losing confidence in Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner? CNBC's Larry Kudlow said the signs are suggesting as much.

The host of "The Kudlow Report" said in an appearance with CNBC On-Air Editor Charlie Gasparino on his March 17 broadcast that a statement put out earlier today by the administration, and placed at the top of the Drudge Report, hinted this was the beginning of the end for Geithner.

"You know, statements out of the blue - statements like this are what I call a real bad leading indicator that Geithner's time, days may be numbered," Kudlow said. "It may not happen in the next week, but it may happen."

Larry Kudlow, even though he works for CNBC, is pretty good at calling these things.

I have a feeling that Emmanuel will also be losing his job before too much time passes.

But a new chief of staff still will not help Oshama.

So how would Obama replace him? It’s not like there’s a big supply of good candidates.

No he is such a perfect image of the ACTING president’s administration and his teleprompter.

Bedsides, he is the only man in the world that knows how to fix this mess, RIGHT? That’s what we were told.

I wish Kudlow would have said that the Obama Administration's days are numbered.Unfortunately we still have 3 years and 9 months or so to go. I gag every time I think about that and every time I see or hear his voice.

Obama is an enemy of the constitution and the United States.
