[...] Does Obama only seek out people who have violated the rules which they will be entrusted to enforce? Geithner as Treasury Sec. (evaded taxes). Holder as AG (he recommended Rich be pardoned AND his old firm represents many GITMO detainees). Richardson for Commerce Sec. (investigated for pay-for-play scheme; withdrew name). Rattner as Car Czar (charged with running auto industry but investigated for kickbacks for investing in a pension fund; eventually quit). The list goes on. [...]

[...] Rattner is looking for some kickbacks? Who’da thunkit? But why the strongarm tactics? Round up the usual suspects: Fiat S.p.A. CEO Sergio Marchionne said he is ready to abandon plans to form a partnership with Chrysler LLC unless the U.S. carmaker’s unions accept substantial labor cost reductions by the end of the month.

Didn’t read the first page…so, any Libs going, “Well, just look at how many scandals (evil) Bush had when he was president!”

Of course, that was over 8 years, not three months.

WHERE ARE THE REPUBLICAN LEADERS?
And what I want to know is why are they not out in front on this DHS report, demanding Napalitano’s resignation? I know

we won’t get rid of her on this, but a case needs to be building. I’m so disgusted by our lack of leadership.

Obviously they do not see it in their best interst to push things too hard. I am registerd as a democrat, from days when it was the democratic party. I now vote republican, but as it now stands, its vote them all out and start over.
With some luck we can overcome vote stealing and propaganda of the radical extremist who want to live under fascist socialism, or perhaps more to their desire, communism.

The Obama administration insisted on appointing him to Treasury Secretary anyway, despite the fact that Geithner would run tax collection, declaring him the only person in America who could do the job.

There is an old saying that to catch a theif you have to be a theif, so he was the best man for the job, only he has not retired from his former profession yet. Clearly that is not a problem for bambi. People tend to surround themselves with people they are comfortable being around.

The more I read about corrupt government officials lining their own pockets, the more I want to go into government to line my pockets.

Yup. Unfortunately all it takes these days to become a millionaire is a flashy smile, a few connections, and lots of BS.

Just look at our president and vice president. Empty suits both.

The Republicans are no less corrupt and authoritarian than the Democrats. They simply are peddling a slightly different lie.

What a stupid and ignorant response…next time read the posts and respond to what is written.
