In Tim Geithner is ten here.
-- He has not said He wanted to Levy cities here for the foreseeable future sort that and some we were the first to report from friends of people talked to on Wall Street.

We're gonna have.
Tim Geithner to kick around a little longer I'm going to kick him I don't stick around but what I'm saying he's with friends -- his friends on Wall Street are telling me.
Is that He is likely to remain significantly after the -- fight that the notion of him leaving is almost.
Almost you know -- possibility at this point why is that the political environment prevents essentially them to put someone else up and have -- another confirmation hearing.
The Obama administration knows that that will be such a nasty fight with the president is doing is trying to convince Geithner state.
And what friends of going Anders on Wall Street -- Tellme is that He is.
Is most likely.
Gonna stay and then and then see how long does it say probably stays through the end of 2012 through the through the it until until the -- the if Obama wins the you know the next term might leave.
But for the foreseeable future securely and that no one will approve a replacement and -- -- -- Republican look at what's going on now with the debt ceiling.
Can you imagine what the confirmation battle be like already fighting the report that the reinstated for a number of Robert Miller of right they are right yeah that's what I mean that's been a place for a long time I mean we're getting in the way you know big they have their reasons I'm not I'm not close enough to that to know DD DD sort of inside details here how our politics I do know -- Well some of might be and so might be they don't like his policies but I mean the other parties this I know about Tim Geithner and I know.
That putting up replacement treasury secretary of -- getting confirmed next year adjourn election year.
Is gonna be real difficult particularly after that if the what's going on here any names being floated.
I don't think -- -- lead I mean that's what his friends are telling now He may wake up tomorrow say.
This is I've had enough enough enough is enough I don't care about what the president tells me.
But what his friends Hussein.
Is that he's likely to stay for the foreseeable future and nothing if that's a pretty big story OK all right and you've got it we'll see if it happens -- that are affecting what she leaves tomorrow just discretionary Jeff -- I think it just it just to get -- just.
