Strike Four; Obama’s Nominee for Secretary of Labor Has Ethics Problems
This is getting too comical. I can hardly keep up with all of Obama’s dimwitted moves and appointees. Every day I have to choose between which topics to write about and which to save for another day. Just when I thought that President Obama couldn’t possibly have another scandal with one of his cabinet appointees I am proved wrong.
The Obama scandal of the day for February 04, 2009 involves his nominee for Secretary of Labor, Hilda Solis.
A seemingly innocuous letter sent to the Clerk of the House of Representatives last Thursday by President Obama’s Secretary of Labor nominee Hilda Solis raises serious and troubling legal questions about her nomination and apparent violation of House ethics rules. Not only was she involved with a private organization that was lobbying her fellow legislators on a bill that she has cosponsored, but she apparently kept her involvement secret and failed to reveal a clear conflict of interest.
Of course she is claiming the Geithner/ Daschle defense that she made an honest mistake.
This is really getting embarrassing for our dear leader, I almost feel bad for him but then I remember that it was the American Idol president himself who claimed he would lower the sea levels if he was elected and that makes me smile as I watch all of his nominees become embroiled in scandal.

Your souce forgets to mention the fact that her role was well known and ceremonial at best. Heck, that information is on AWR’s website. I guess the witch hunters are targeting her because she is a strong supporter of labor unions.

Being on AWR’s website does NOT make it well known. You know as well as I that if she was a conservative, the feces would have already hit the rotating blade!!!

I did not say that it being on the website makes it well known. I was just pointing out that it is even on the website. Unlike Geithner and Daschel where it is was obvious that there was wrong doing, this is no more than Solis not dotting an ‘i’ or crossing a ‘t’.
You know as well as I that she is being targeted for her support for the ill-conceived EFCA bill. It is no coincidence that she would pop up right after Geithner and Daschel. The republicans are using the timing to get rid of someone that they do not like but do not have a strong case against.
I don’t like her policies but to leave out certain facts reeks of “drive by” reporting that the MSM are so often accused of.
