JPMorgan Chase CEO Emerges as Treasury Secretary Candidate

[ddaytrader]

At least Dimon wouldn't have the strong ties to Wall St that Geithner has ... right?

1. Geithner isn't going anywhere. The earliest he would leave would be after the mid-term elections if the Dems get whupped.

2. Eliot Spitzer should be Treas Sec

If Geithner stays the Demos will get wooped.

But worse and more to the point the COUNTRY will continue to get screwed by the Wall Street enablers.

Eliot Spitzer for Treasury Sec and

Brooksley Born for SEC Chair

Elizabeth Warren for FDIC Chair.

Yes

Dimon over my dead keyboard, he is exactly more of what we are in the process of tarring and feathering and running out of town on a rail.

A primo lineup. The talent is out there. Current cabal needs to be run off, correct.

Doesn't matter who the Treasury Secretary is....he's always the president's lackey. Secretary of the Treasury is just a PR, spin, snow the public job.

Quote from Debaser82:

It’s not clear he’s going anywhere but if Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner were to lose his job, JPMorgan Chase (JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon is emerging as a potential replacement, the New York Post reported.

A number of policy makers have begun mentioning Dimon as a successor to Geithner, who has come under new attacks over his handling of the U.S. economy and ties to Wall Street, the paper reported, citing unnamed sources.

Still, it seems unlikely at this point that President Barack Obama would accept Geithner’s resignation. And even if he did, it might be tough to convince Dimon to give up his big salary at JPMorgan, which has been seen as one of the healthiest U.S. banks.

People familiar with Dimon’s thinking told the Post he “would love to serve his country” but that he believes Geithner is doing “a good job” and plans to stay at JPMorgan for another “six or seven years.” Dimon was considered a candidate to lead the Treasury Department last year after Obama was elected.

If Geithner goes then the "strong dollar" policy would be in jeopardy!
