At Monday’s town hall in Washington, President Obama was asked whether his top economic adviser, Larry Summers, and his Treasury secretary, Tim Geithner, would be staying through the end of this term. Obama’s answer makes one think the answer is no:
Well, look, I — I have not made any determinations about personnel. I think Larry Summers and Tim Geithner have done an outstanding job, as have my whole economic team. This is tough, the work that they do. They’ve been at it for two years. And, you know, they’re going to have a whole range of decisions about family that’ll factor into this as well. But the bottom line is — is that we’re constantly thinking, is what we’re doing working as well as it could? Do we have other options and other alternatives that we can explore?
