Obama’s Golden Parachute for Chris Dodd – Treasury Secretary
Before you puke, this isn’t confirmed or anything. But as Hotair notes, there are whispers among multiple Senate aides that friend of Angelo Chris Dodd could replace current Treasury Secretary Turbo Tax Timothy Geithner!
Speculation has also begun about potential employment for Dodd in the Obama administration.
For instance, several Democratic Senate aides noted that Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is an extremely unpopular figure in the Senate. Geithner has also taken the brunt of the criticism for the administration’s handling of the economy and, these sources speculated, if the country’s financial picture does not brighten before Election Day, he could be the first secretary to leave the administration.
Although Dodd would appear to be well-situated to take control of Treasury if the position were to open, it may not be smooth sailing for his nomination.
