Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Jack Lew, President Obama’s nominee for treasury secretary, should be a “shoo-in” for confirmation in the Senate, in a statement released Tuesday after meeting with Lew.

“Jack Lew has all the qualifications to be an outstanding Treasury Secretary. He’s very smart, facile with the numbers and listens carefully to all sides. If you ask me, he should be a shoo-in for confirmation.”
