Geithner: No 2nd Term as Treasury Secretary 
--------------------------------------------



U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has announced he does not
expect to stay on should President Obama get re-elected. In an interview
with Bloomberg Television, Geithner said he thinks Obama will seek to
replace him as Treasury Secretary if he wins a second term. Geithner's
tenure has come under wide criticism following his key role in backing
policies that led to the nation's financial crisis during his previous
stint heading the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
