Doing a good job?

Yesterday, during his tour of California, President Obama stated the Tim Geithner was doing an outstanding job. What? This assessment would have to make anyone step back and wonder, "what is he talking about."
In most jobs around the country people are rewarded when the job they do results in an improvement in that organizations position. In this case, each move Mr. Geithner has made has had just the opposite affect.
Now maybe the President isn't talking about the same "good job'" the rest of us would think of? He may just be impressed that Mr, Geithner can keep a straight face when he talks, thus making it seem like the administration is serious about it's business.
Here's a question for business people out there. If you were a new public company looking for a leadership team, does this sound good to you? Chris Dodd, Tim Geithner, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Barnie Frank and Harry Reed? Exactly, at least you would have an inside track to government money.
