'''Timothy Geithner''' (b. 1961) became the [[Secretary of the Treasury]] in the [[Obama Administration]] in January, 2009. [[Image:Geithner1.jpg|thumb|370px|Critics feared Geithner's vague plans would crash]] Geithner got off to a very bad start, as his programs from 2008 have worked poorly, he was ridiculed and humiliated during his confirmation hearings for not paying taxes, his first major proposal as Secretary was uniformly repudiated by all sides, and the Treasury lacks (as of March 24) a single major senior official besides him.
