Double Journey

Is it me or is there a little bit of hypocrisy with Tim Geitner announcing Obama’s tax plan to cut down on tax evasion by wealthy individuals and corporations?  I understand he is the treasury secretary and might be the proper person from a protocol perspective to announce this, but still.  On this one, you might have wanted to send Tim Geitner on some important mission  somewhere else and have someone else in governmnet introduce Obama.
