How long before Summers replaces Geithner?

Updated

Tim Geithner's performance on the media stage left much to be desired. In theory, he should be judged on the quality of his ideas -- which I found mediocre -- but he truly bombed as a communicator. And this raises questions about whether President Obama should allow him to speak in public. Since he is such a gifted salesman, I think it would be better for Obama to get into the substance of the bank rescue and to be its front-man. I know it's a radical and shocking suggestion, but he may also want to consider replacing Geithner.
