    Well that "ethical" Obama administration is having a devil of a time finding nominees that actually pay all their taxes. Both Tom Daschle and Nancy Killefer withdrew their nominations today because they're exposed tax cheats. Throw in "corrupt" Bill Richardson, and Turbo Tax Geithner and we've got quite a collection of crooks and cheats trying to and in some cases getting into the Obama administration. If I were the new president I'd be embarassed and if I'd voted for him I'd be wondering just how many crooks and cheats does he know. Well he is from Illinois and the supply is almost limitless.

    Let's see, SoS Clinton, Emanuel Chief of Staff, Defense industry lobbyist as #2 in the Dept of defense, inability to fill cabinets with honest, tax paying citizens and I can see how this is a change we can believe in......I frankly didn't expect this but running the country is a little different than running a "community organization." Why do expect someone with no executive experience to play well as chief executive?

    With Pelosi and Reid now fully in charge of the asylum providing us with more than a mouthful of pork-filled cram down, I'm not sure how much more of this amateur hour show the public is gonna put up with....this may be the shortest honeymoon period in the history of the presidency.

    I'm always amazed when nominees go down in flames, it happens to every president.

    I'm sure that every President and his people start the process with the full intention of picking people with no skeletons in their closet. So the question is do the nominees lie to them, to they not ask the right questions, or do the Senate committees have agents everywhere to pick at every locked closet door that a nominee has for dirt.

    Well one would hope that the choice for Secy. of State doesn't have a spouse that has recieved millions from foreign nationals in contributions to his "library and porno shop."
    And is it asking to much to have the Secy. of the Treasury report as income all the money that he makes?
    This isn't minor stuff. And yet, both of them got confirmed.

    I can't imagine it would have been that tough to find the guy's flippin tax records. It just doesn't seem like they'd have to do so much digging that it would be a major secret.

    I assure you that with every one that goes down, Rahm is lining up someone across the aisle to exact his revenge on.

    Say do you think if we asked nicely that hypocritical bitch Pelosi would give us some of her "Culture of Corruption" crap.
