It’s only rumor until the parties involved make a statement to that effect.

Maybe he sees dark clouds on the horizon and wants to be on the winning side.

Well,Summers *was* fired by Harvard for having dared suggest that there just might be noteworthy differences between men and women.So you just might be on to something there.

While at it, lets get rid of that fat-lady with the smile, Christine Rohmer. The country is going down the tubes and she's happy-go-lucky, which shows me she is a clueless clown from academia

“....Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner — the target of populist outrage over Wall Street bailouts and high unemployment — would be the first to leave the Obama administration’s economic team after the mid-term elections.”

....if only we had a Lee Atwater to do our ads...Geithner is a gift...the head of the IRS who pays no taxes!...an attack ad campaign made in Heaven....nobody, and I mean nobody in the GOP has the balls to be a gut fighter....half the Tea Party outrage stems from this.
