Given you can't name anyone I doubt that know either way and you do know he's hired more than one, so how is anyone supposed to know what you're talking about?
Are you insinuating that they're all tax cheats? Interesting...
Barack Obama spent the entirety of his campaign railing against Wall Street and Bush cronyism. Then he comes along and hires tax cheat and Wall Street extraordinaire Tim Geithner. If you can't put two and two together, perhaps you should just admit you're not capable of railing against this President and call it a day. Right now your obtusity and obfuscation is just embarrassing.
Boom, there we go. Now we know what you're talking about and who. Of course, this thread is about 5 years too late but I see what you're getting at.
Do you have some proof showing that he spent his whole campaign arguing that people with tax issues shouldn't be appointed to any job? The tax issues weren't serious enough to cause many votes against him. He was voted through the senate at a 2-1 margin and he likely would have had the job either way.
What you didn't mention is that Obama did bring in reforms that stopped people who were working on legislation to leave and go work lobbying on that topic. You can certainly google those changes. He actually followed through on that.
Your expectation here is that he should have gone with a lesser candidate because of some issues that seemed to be honest mistakes and that weren't even enough to make his opposition oppose the nomination.

He should have went with a better candidate. One not picked by Wall Street.

Honest mistakes? Everyone KNOWS that's BS.

..."Sens. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., and Jim Bunning, R-Ky., said they could not understand how Geithner could make such an error and questioned why he didn't realize he owed money for the entire time he was at the IMF when the IRS audit originally uncovered the problem. Bunning displayed a blown-up copy of a form Geithner signed while at the IMF that outlined his tax obligations."

And?
What good did all that do the country?
Certainly seems all those alleged qualifications did nothing to ensure the man would make a good POTUS.

What's your favorite Obama action that foreshadowed the crappy Administration that we have today?
That he was an introvert in college and hardly had any friends. I think that continued into his Presidency and he picks folks around him that he doesn't have a clue about, and they all end up doing a terrible job.

Those are all very valid points.
