On Sunday, The White House announced three nominees for senior posts at the Treasury Department. Just days ago, two other contenders withdrew their names claiming concern that the team wasn’t being assembled quickly enough during the financial crisis.

Two months into the Obama presidency, only Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is in place in the Treasury.
The three new nominees are:
- David Cohen – assistant Treasury secretary for terrorist financing
- Alan Krueger – assistant secretary for economic policy
- Kim Wallace – assistant secretary for legislative affairs
“Out of crisis arises opportunity,” President Obama said in a statement.
“With the leadership of these accomplished individuals and our whole economic team, I am absolutely confident that we will turn around this economy and seize this opportunity to secure a more prosperous future.”
