I don't want to put words in Geithner's mouth, but I think he is generally against the revolving door of government officials taking jobs with companies that they have overseen or in roles that involve lobbying. At minimum, I'm pretty sure he felt that way about himself.

Many elected officials serve for so long they become spokesmen for government, rather than those who elect them.

The people of God want pastors, not clergy acting like bureaucrats or government officials.

If the law is upheld only by government officials, then all law is at an end.

I think, with Hank Paulson, the concept of a bailout was anathema to him from day one. He was a Republican; he's a free marketeer. He believes in capitalism, and part of capitalism is believing in failure. And so the idea of bailing out an institution, I think, went against every part of him.
