Very good commentary. The most important problem with the nomination, though, is this: is there someone better? Given Geithner’s obvious problems (not least the fact that he doesn’t really appear to be terribly bright), shouldn’t the Senate hold out for a more impressive nominee?

There’s no right to this position, and Obama has no right to get whomever he chooses. Obama won’t suffer unduly if the Senate rejects this loser.
