Timothy Geithner: Keep him or Fire him?

(There is no 'other' option for binary questions.)

I have no firm opinion and will thus not cast a vote, but am curious as to the DU take.

Poll result (154 votes)
Obama should FIRE Geithner (115 votes, 75%)Vote
Obama should NOT FIRE Geithner (39 votes, 25%)Vote
