That's Gary Weiss' description of Timothy Geithner at Portfolio.com. Thus far, based on Geithner's actions or lack thereof, Weiss has a point. It looks as though Geithner has been a perpetual aide to some high-powered people. Some aides do blossom into leaders, some do not. Geithner seems to fit the latter bill.
We need someone who accepts reality, someone who does not let his loyalties blind him to taking actions that are desperately needed by the nation and the world. Brains alone are not what is needed now. You need leadership skills and courage. I doubt that Geithner will develop them.
