summers, remember,mented to be beer -- benanke. he ran the selection process for whether he would replace benanke. he's the leader. he had been treasury secretary meaning in the white house, and, yeah, i'll do this, but in the summer of the next year, i'm your man. i think summers says obama said yes, you will be, and he feels a bit betrayed, but knows geithner ran the selection process, and i think summers feels geithner was faint in his praise of summers in the fed job. there was a breach. git near's watching this best and brightest high iq debate set and obama is feeling trapped in, and geithner sets himself up as the default not saying much. he's holding the cards close, but when obama is frustrated and not sure what to do, he defaults to a geithner plan for caution. a plan for not doing a great deal, a plan for keeping the km in america, the structure as it is, and ultimately, geithner ends up being the last man standing. their relationship, it'll be in both men's memoirs. it's something of great interest in washington. geithn
