geithner is playing a lead role but others are very much involved, including the chief of staff and rob naborsif you saw the story in "the wall street journal" saying there were some republicans on the hill irritated with the white house chief of staff. really want to deal with geithner as opposed to jack lou. did you see that story? >> i saw the story. i work for secretary geithner. now i meet every day with jack lou and i can tell you, they're wonderful people to work with, first-rate policymakers. people whose values and judgment i trust enormously. >> as part of this deal, assuming there's a deal before the end of the year, avoiding going over the so-called fiscal cliff, are you also including raising the nation's debt ceiling, because it's got to come uby february or march, i take it? and everyone doesn't want to go through this nightmare once again then. >> that's absolutely right f. you look back at what happened last year, it was a completely self-inflicted wound. congress didn't raise the debt ceiling in an orderly fashion and it literally brought the economy close to its knees. it's
