By JONATHAN WEISMAN
WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama raised the prospect of changes to his economic team Monday, saying his over-worked staffers were "going to have a whole range of decisions about family that'll factor into" their career decisions.

The White House said no changes were planned. "He was signaling nothing more than support for the tough decisions they have made together and the hard work that has gone into helping the economy get on a path to recovery," White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.

There has been speculation for months that Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and National Economic Council Director Lawrence Summers could take the fall for potentially bad election results—and the gloomy economy souring the national political mood against Democrats. Two years into his first term, President George W. Bush forced out his first Treasury secretary and National Economic Council director after the midterm elections.

1. Pres. Obama should have taken action a long time ago
He should have dumped both Geithner and Bernanke. He needs to have a Fed chief in that knows the reality of the true middle and working class; those are people that don't give a damn or necessarily know a thing about Wall Street and have nothing in it to be had.

With interest rates at .25%-%1.00 tops, people cannot save and are spending what savings they had. This is not good for the middle class, the working class nor the poor. It is a self-destructing agenda for the Democrats along with no Social Security increases going on over 2 years soon enough.

This is breaking the backs of those that already don't have.

To keep these criminals in charge is not a good idea one bit. To dump them before an election could be very negative for the Democrats.

Oh what a fine mess we find ourselves in when we allow the rich to feed off of the poor.

:dem:

3. Well, That's A Dilemma
on the one hand it would totally suck losing the House (think a grinding halt to anything President Obama wants to do to help the country, investigations & subpoenas of the White House, etc). OTOH, it would get rid of Geithner and Summers...

4. I also think before 2012 that SOS Clinton will let Sen Kerry have her position...
.... as he wanted it in 2008.
