== Timothy Geithner sworn in as Secretary of the Treasury ==
Timothy Geithner is now officially the 75th Secretary of the United States Treasury.
The Senate confirmed him late this afternoon by a vote of 60-34, and just a few moments ago, following an introduction by President Obama, Vice President Biden administered the oath of office.
Tomorrow, we'll take a closer look at the challenges Secretary Geithner faces in his new role leading the Treasury Department.
