DAMN! How did that happen???? Michelle (Malkin, silly, not the other one) cleverly noted that Barack Obama is acting with the clueless innocence of Steve Urkel when it comes to the economy..

Anyway, here’s the scoop: Tim Geither is SO not “in” that he’s more radioactive than even 30 Rock’s Liz Lemon at her high school reunion!!!

George Stephanopoulos (no doubt with some glee) has the story. SEE BELOW:

Top Treasury Pick to Withdraw From Consideration
March 05, 2009 6:33 PM

Annette Nazareth, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner’s expected pick to be his top deputy at the Treasury Department has withdrawn from consideration, administration sources confirm.

The withdrawal of Nazareth, a former Securities and Exchange Commissioner, may further complicate Geithner’s effort to build his staff amidst the greatest economic crisis the nation has faced in decades.

A Democratic source tells me that Nazareth faced resistance on Capitol Hill for being “too lax a regulator” at the SEC.

Nazareth’s withdrawal is the latest blow for the Treasury Department, which has struggled to fill key staffing posts. Last week, Obama administration economics adviser Paul Volcker called the staffing problems “shameful.”

“There is an area that I think is, I don’t know, shameful is the word,” Volcker said at a Joint Economic Committee hearing on Feb. 26.

“The Secretary of the Treasury is sitting there without a deputy, without any undersecretaries, without any, as far as I know, assistant secretaries in substantive areas at a time of very severe crisis. He shouldn’t be sitting there alone. Now various things have contributed to this, I guess, including vetting procedures, but it really is an unfortunate situation,” Volcker said.
