I'm really quite surprised by the visible (and increasing) anger at Geithner (and Summers)

Not surprised that it exists, per se. But surprised by how strong the feeling is on the left, how vocal people have been about it, and how it seems to be intensifying by the day.

This is from Steve Clemons at the Washington Note:

Regrettably, the Obama administration seems to be fumbling the ball on an economic policy course that restores confidence in the American economy on both the optics level and also on a substantive front that reorganizes the "social contract" and design of the real economy in the U.S.

Obama, in his 'loyalty' to his current economic team and the mistakes they are making is the antithesis of Abraham Lincoln. Obama may have tried to mimic Lincoln's "team of rivals" approach to politics -- but he needs to read the chapters on the number of generals Lincoln fired during the Civil War to finally get things moved forward.
This problem isn't going away.
