Just a few words about the tax cheats running for Obama’s cabinet.
TIM GEITHNER for Treasury Secretary: Should have been eliminated from consideration once it was known that he DELIBERATELY avoided paying taxes when he knew he should have. This appointment is a joke and will remain a joke because of his irresponsible behavior EVEN THOUGH HE IS RICH AS HELL.
This character flaw is troubling and I just don’t trust him to make the right decisions about our economy mainly because he obviously does not know the value of a dollar and what it takes to earn one.
Geithner was a Paulson student and I think Paulson made some serious mistakes with our financial system and Geithner supported his decisions - not smart!
Also, the appointment of Geithner reflects badly on Obama. He campaigned on a principle of honesty with no exceptions and he is already making excuses why he needs to circumvent his own principles.
TOM DASCHLE is a slightly different story. I checked out his tax mistakes and they were honest mistakes as far as I can see BUT after Geithner, he never had a chance; one tax cheat is enough. Today another appointee stepped aside because of a tax issue of less that $1,000; should have done a better job at vetting the candidates.
Obama MUST pay more attention to details because if he doesn’t, his message will be lost in partisan bullshit and the Republicans will start looking like they are protecting the country from greedy Democratic tax cheats.
