Mr. Treasury Secretary-designate has a little.....um, "tax problem".
What's worse, Team "Hope 'n Change" has known about it six weeks.
Excerpt:
"What was Obama thinking?
Obama's choice of Geithner flirts with an issue that has deep-sixed Cabinet picks before –his former housekeeper’s immigration status lapsed briefly while she was in his employ.
Also, Obama’s choice to oversee the IRS flubbed his own tax returns – some of which he had personally prepared – to the tune of $42,700 in back taxes and penalties.
And Geithner decided to pay more than half that amount — $26,000 — only after Obama decided to nominate him, according to finance committee documents.
Obama’s team calls them 'honest mistakes.'"
Yeah, I'll just bet they were.
The guy is the New York Federal Reserve chairman. He theoretically knows better.
If this was a Republican administration, the Tanksters and the Nutroots would be ALL OVER the president-elect and the designate, plus the guy would already be the subject of several congressional investigations, a huge IRS audit, and/or already be under indictment.
Of that, you can be sure.
And just like the rest of the crooks confirmation will come with ease. The Dems have the numbers and the spineless Republicans are rolling over playing dead for the next 4 years.
ReplyDeleteMy motto, is no incumbents in 2010 be they Dems or Republicans.
Bubba, it even arouses my concern that he has been the chief at the New York Fed with a record like that. He should not have even had that job if he has been evading taxes.

And yet the Tank Media blows it off as no big deal.
ReplyDeleteWhat has happened to the values and judgment of our so-called leaders, and of the people who give us information?
Why do so few of us care anymore?
Just another sleazebag in the likes of Charlie Rangel.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but this is nowhere near as important to the world and the MSM as Sarah Palin's ______ (fill in the blank).
