Maybe he's a genius, but he sure looks like a bad guy from "24"

Meet Neel Kaskari - Czar of 3/4ths of a trillion, and new keeper of the freaking world's financial stability, 35, ex NASA engineer, embarked on an MBA as a second career.

Neel Kashkari was designated as the Interim Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Financial Stability on October 6, 2008. In this capacity, Mr. Kashkari oversees the Office of Financial Stability including the Troubled Asset Relief Program.

Mr. Kashkari also continues to hold the position of Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for International Economics and Development, but his International Affairs responsibilities are delegated to Assistant Secretary for International Affairs Clay Lowery while Mr. Kashkari serves as Interim Assistant Secretary for Financial Stability.

Mr. Kashkari joined the Treasury Department in July 2006 as Senior Advisor to U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson, Jr. In that role, he was responsible for developing the President's Twenty in Ten energy security plan, enhancing Treasury's engagement with India, particularly in the area of infrastructure development, and developing and executing the Department's response to the housing crisis, including the formation of the HOPE NOW Alliance, the development of the subprime fast-track loan modification plan, and Treasury's initiative to kick-start a covered bond market in the United States.

Prior to joining the Treasury Department, Mr. Kashkari was a Vice President at Goldman, Sachs & Co. in San Francisco, where he led Goldman's IT Security Investment Banking practice, advising public and private companies on mergers and acquisitions and financial transactions. Prior to his career in finance, Mr. Kashkari was a R&D Principal Investigator at TRW in Redondo Beach, California where he developed technology for NASA space science missions such as the James Webb Space Telescope.

Good luck, you poor bastard. All you have to do is save Wall Street without even appearing to harm main street, give back the retirement accounts to the seniors the way they were in 2005 and 6, help small business, and save Europe and the far east from the abyss, while spending time testifying at oversight committees. Then IF you do all that, return us to free enterprise.

Of course if you can, and you were born here, you are a shoe in for the worst job in the world.

Something tells me this guy is too busy, and too serious to be an elitist, like some other morons

Two questions:

1. Is he a Moslem?

2. Moslem or not, will he promote shari'a finance?
