Source: Geithner failed to pay personal taxes

[Americanhero1]

WASHINGTON – Treasury secretary designee Timothy Geithner is meeting with senators to discuss why he failed to pay personal taxes and check the immigration status of a housekeeper.

An official with President-elect Barack Obama's transition office says Geithner (GYT ner) answered senators' questions during a meeting he requested Tuesday. The person requested anonymity because the source is not authorized to speak publicly on Geithner's situation.

Obama's transition team was expected to release a statement about the issue later Tuesday.

Obama named the 47-year-old Geithner as his pick for Treasury secretary in November, citing as a top priority tackling the nation's financial crisis.

This guy wants to be treasury secretary and he's not even paying his taxes while he expects everybody else to pay their taxes.  That's weak.
