Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner appeared this morning at the Council
on Foreign Relations. The main meeting room, named after private
equity kingpin and entitlement scourge Pete Peterson, was jam-packed
with members, so we media hacks had to watch the proceedings on a
video screen set up in the David Rockefeller Room.
Geithner’s remarks (as prepared, here; as delivered, here) mostly
achieved the anodyne level customary to the genre. He’s glib in a way,
but doesn’t give the impression of having a powerful or capacious
mind. Though he’s 47, he still gives the impression of being a kid
playing at being a grownup—or so it seemed on the closed-circuit TV.
A couple of highlights stand out amidst the
boilerplate...._______________________________________________
