Obama's Economic Team

President-elect Barack Obama is expected to name his economic team at 9am Pacific time (12 noon ET) today. At first blush it's an all-star team:

Tim Geithner, Secretary of the Treasury

Larry Summers, Chair of the National Economic Council

Bill Richardson, Secretary of Commerce

Peter Orszag, Director of the Office of Management and Budget

Christina Romer, Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers

It's certainly nice to know that the competent grown-ups are running things again.
