US’s Geithner confident financial reform to happen

U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said on Thursday he is very confident that softening opposition to financial reforms bodes well for passage of legislation.

"If you just listen to the tone of the last couple of days, it's changed. I spent a huge amount of time with Republicans over the last few weeks … and I think they really want to be for this," he said in an interview on CBS's "The Early Show."

He said he was "absolutely confident" financial reform will happen.
