For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: a treasury secretary with tax problems?
As Tom Blumer has reported here and here, Barack Obama's nominee for treasury secretary, Timothy Geithner, has some tax problems. Do you think this is a serious matter, and something that should disqualify him? Or, do you think this is no big deal, and the nomination process should hinge on his qualifications NOT a personal oversight on his part?
Do you expect this to get much coverage from the Obama-loving media, and if so what will their take be? How much different would this coverage be if McCain was the president-elect?
