Why Obama Chose Summers
"As undersecretary, deputy secretary, and then secretary of the Treasury, Larry helped guide us through several major international financial crises—and was a central architect of the policies that led to the longest economic expansion in American history, with record surpluses, rising family incomes and more than 20 million new jobs. He also championed a range of measures—from tax credits to enhanced lending programs to consumer financial protections—that greatly benefitted middle income families."Washington Wire: Text of President-Elect Obama’s Remarks on Economic Team (November 24, 2008)
