Summers has made several public appearances lately, focusing his remarks on the roots of the current economic crisis and what it means for the United States in the future, leading many people to believe he's the right man for what is arguably the most difficult job in all of government service.

"Ask anyone who had to work with him when he was Treasury secretary in the late 1990s. But that was then and this is now. He showed NABE that he could be self-deprecating, humble and wise. He showed us he could be a good leader, something that has been missing from the political arena for some time."
