Strike Three: Third Obama Cabinet Nominee Has Tax Trouble

February 3, 2009

 Don’t they say that the third time is a charm? Well not in this case. This time it was strike three, you’re out. Just hours before Tom Daschle was forced to resign amid tax fraud we learned that a third OBama appointee also has tax problems. Nancy Killefer forgot to pay unemployment compensation tax for people in her employ.

 Wasn’t it Joe Biden who said that paying taxes was patriotic? Why are there so many non-patriotic, non taxpaying Democrats being nominated by Obama for cabinet positions? Did he even bother to vet these people?

 If Obama is this careless with his cabinet picks how the hell can we trust his judgement on the very real issues that we face as a nation?

 President Obama has shown us that he has incredibly bad judgement already and he hasn’t even had to make a tough choice yet. How is he going to respond to a crisis when it arises? And can we trust him to make the right call?

    You would have thought that he would be smart enough to vet these people better, afterall, he knows that’s how he won, by not being vetted.

    Right-on. Pink Eyes-

    Despite the MSM sycophants still blathering-on about Obama’s “vaunted vetting process” and the even more far-fetched “strict ethics guidlines”, the reality is entirely different… as evidenced by numerous crash-n-burn nominees.

    With most of Obama’s nominations, the reasons presented to the public have little or nothing to do with the political deal or hidden agenda behind these dubious picks… and he’s clearly not looking for the best available talent.

    CEO’s and others with practical, bottom-line executive experience are apparently not welcome… not only would they upstage the comprehensively unaccomplished Obama, but would likely throw unwanted cold-water on Barack’s pollyanna world view and ill-advised socialist pork-n-welfare spending spree.

    And if they are a tax cheat, have major conflicts of interest, are connected to anti-American groups like La Raza and Socialist International, that’s all just a “distraction”… and our intentions are suspect if we ask to know the details.

    Instead of any vetting per their implied Constitutional duty, the press will continue to bring us articles on Labradoodles and how Barack likes to play basketball… what a joke.

    Most of these candidates where apparently not vetted at-all, instead the positions were given to those like Hillary and Richardson in the name of win-win political deals, or paybacks throughout the party, where serial-opportunist Obama put his political security above ethics, or even basic qualifications.

    Suffice to say that anyone who expected him to act in the best interest of the country really hasn’t taken a serious look at how he got this far in the first place.

      I guess we have to give Obama credit, he knows how to market himself one way while he goes in the opposite direction. Too many people do not seem to see this, probably because the MSM is in his back pocket.
