Neel Kashkari

AGE: 35
OCCUPATION: TARP-throb
PREVIOUS APPEARANCES ON THE TIME 100: 0

PRO: As the public face for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, Kashkari is tasked with balancing the demands of outraged taxpayers and flailing bank owners. If he had any hair, he'd have pulled it out months ago.

CON: It's an interim gig, and if Kashkari can't make Obama happy, he may soon be looking for his own relief.
