The banking system was still in a crisis, and people were soon calling for his head. Naming his replacement four years later, President Obama said Geithner will be remembered "as one of our finest secretaries of the Treasury."

Tim Geithner reportedly plans to step down in January, even as the Treasury Department is scrambling to avoid cracking the government's debt ceiling. Robert Siegel talks with Scott Horsley about that and other personnel changes as the president prepares for his second term.

House Speaker John Boehner said he did not share that optimistic assessment.end-of-year deadline Sun, 02 Dec 2012 18:51:00 GMT /npr-news/2012-12-02/no-deal-on-fiscal-cliff-without-tax-increase-on-rich-geithner-says Krishnadev Calamur /npr-news/2012-11-30/todays-three-stories-to-read-about-the-fiscal-cliff The White House and congressional leaders continue to talk about taxes, spending cuts and how to avoid an end-of-year deadline — when Bush-era tax cuts are set to expire and automatic spending cuts are set to go into effect.

President Obama wants to raise taxes for some; Republicans don't want any hikes. But if nothing is done, rates could go up across the board.

After four pretty grueling years, Secretary Timothy Geithner has made it clear he will be leaving Washington, but who will replace him? Erskine Bowles and Jack Lew are two names that are mentioned.
