things and the result can be contrary to what the white house would like to see. brian, you ve raised the subject of treasury secretary. jack lew is the chief negotiator on fiscal cliff, chief of staff, former omb director, he has real economic background but let me ask, is he the strongest candidate for treasury secretary or would the president be better served to have someone from wall street and can he have someone from wall street, given how what the reaction from the democratic base would be. i think there s two separate sets of considerations. one is who is the president comfortable with and has a proven track record within the administration? jack lew ticks those boxes. the strike is that republicans, you know, were not too happy with him during the grand bargain negotiations, they thought he was too partisan, wasn t the guy that could bring the president along. if the president wanted to tilt a bit more towards somebody that republicans would more comfortable with, maybe
