Timothy Geithner was raised overseas

He's got a slight accent and this is the reason why.

One of the most interesting things about the appointment of Timothy Geithner as the head of the Treasury Department is that his entire life prepared him for the world we are living in today. Raised by a father, Peter Geithner, who ran the Microcredit program for Indonesia at the time Obama's mother Ann Dunham Soetero, was becoming one of the Western pioneers in Microcredit (she helped set up what is now considered one of the most successful programs in the world). Geithner's father is now head of the Asia program at the Ford Foundation and Timothy Geithner grew up overseas for much of his childhood, in places such as Zimbabwe, India and Thailand, and later received a degree in Asian Studies. It would have been impossible for him to not have seen what true poverty is and how his father was helping to establish part of the solution. THIS is the kind of man we need helping us through a national financial crisis, one which has spread around the world.......
