Which means that in our now fully Orwellian nation he will probably be almost unanimously approved by the Senate.

Our president sure is a swell guy, ain’t he?

What a daisy!

And he sure can pick ‘em!

Jack Lew: I had no idea my money was even in the Cayman Islands

Uh…..if he doesn’t know where his money is, can he explain why he should be put in charge of ours?

Both/either are legitimate disqualifying factors.

Until the Senate votes down incompetents, crooks and liars, we are going to continue to have nominees lie to Congress and treat their job duties with the contempt the Senate has insisted is OK for Democratic appointees.

Jack “Slinky” Lew?

He “didn’t know” that his money was being housed in the Cayman Islands?

Mr Citibank is lying.

“This is a corporation that finds itself in financial distress due to recklessness and greed. Under these circumstances, it’s hard to understand how derivative traders at AIG warranted any bonuses, much less $165 million in extra pay. I mean, how do they justify this outrage to the taxpayers who are keeping the company afloat? [I've asked Treasury Secretary Geithner to] pursue every single legal avenue to block these bonuses and make the American taxpayers whole. It’s about our fundamental values. All across the country, there are people who are working hard and meeting their responsibilities every single day, without the benefit of government bailouts or multimillion-dollar bonuses. You’ve got a bunch of small-business people here who are struggling just to keep their credit line open. And all they ask is that everyone, from Main Street to Wall Street to Washington, play by the same rules. That is an ethic that we have to demand. I’m choked up with anger here.”

- President Barack Obama, 16 March 2009

He wasn’t “choked up with anger” when Jack Lew accepted a $1 million bonus after Citibank was bailed out.

PS: Conservatism biggest enemy is the Limousine Liberal… The bunch of white liberal rich men who control every aspect of liberalism…

Do we really want this to appear on all of our currency?

Have we any graphologists or signature analysts in our ranks?

Lew’s signature seems a bit abnormal from a psychiatric perspective.

I point this out, not because I think that Lew’s erstwhile Cayman Island holdings in and of themselves should be a discrediting factor in his nomination to replace Tim Geithner as head of the Treasury Department;

Yes it does matter, whether it’s Lew, Romney or whoever. It’s an obvious attempt to hide money and avoid taxes.

So let me get this straight. Obama has nominated a person for Treasury Secretary who has no idea where his own money is located. … and this is the person that is being tasked with knowing and overseeing where the nation’s money is located and how it is disbursed. Got it.

Are we the only people who see a problem with this?

Beat me to it…….Epic Fail written all over it……EPIC!!!

On the plus side, if he didn’t know the money was there, then he won’t miss it… maybe he should donate it to the IRS.
